The Chhattisgarh Police have gunned down two Naxals in an encounter in Sukma district.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police, P Sundarraj, said, "It was an operation by a team of District Reserve Guard (DRG), who was out on an anti-Maoist operation last night. The encounter took place in the Rasatong jungle (between Gollapalli and Bheji of the Sukma district). We have also recovered weapons, explosive materials and wireless set after the encounter."
After the guns fell silent, the security forces searched the area and recovered - a 12 bore gun, one bharmar rifle (muzzleloading gun), a wireless set, codex wire of 1.5 metre, a detonator, an electric multimeter, a radio, a couple of batteries, solar plates, solar plate, pitthu bags and some Maoist-related material from the spot.

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.
