In a significant operation against Naxalite insurgents, security forces in Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur district eliminated two top leaders of the outlawed CPI (Maoist), Katta Ramachandra Reddy and Kadri Satyanarayan Reddy, during an encounter in the Abhujmaad region. This operation, based on intelligence inputs regarding the presence of Naxalites in the area, resulted in the recovery of an AK-47 rifle, explosive materials, Maoist literature, and other items. So far this year, Chhattisgarh has witnessed the death of 249 Naxalites in various encounters, a significant achievement for security forces, particularly as 220 of these fatalities occurred in the Bastar division. Union Home Minister Amit Shah lauded these efforts, emphasizing that they are systematically dismantling the Naxal leadership and breaking the backbone of this “red terror.” The ongoing operations illustrate a robust commitment by Indian security forces to combat insurgency and maintain law and order in the region, highlighting the effectiveness of coordinated search operations and intelligence-gathering in curbing Naxalite activities. This progress is vital for enhancing stability in Chhattisgarh, paving the way for development and peace in the affected areas, ultimately supporting the broader national objective of countering insurgency and ensuring security.
