Four Naxal terrorists have been eliminated in an encounter with security forces in Sukma district, Chhattisgarh today (26 March), reports DNA. A number of weapons were also recovered from the slain insurgents.
“The security forces recovered bodies of four Naxals in uniform following the encounter," said an official statement.
The encounter broke out during a search operation being carried out by security forces near the Bimapuram area of Jagargunda village. Once the encounter was over, troops also recovered one INSAs and two 303 rifles from the site.
Although the number of Naxal-affected states and districts has been on a continuous decline over the last several years, Sukma district in Chhattisgarh remains a hotbed of left-wing extremist violence. In one of the largest attacks claimed by the Communist Party of India (Maoist), 26 CRPF personnel were martyred in Sukma in April 2017 when their unit came under heavy fire from some 300 odd Naxals.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
