Elite forces dismantle key Maoist network in Jharkhand operations
The elite 209 Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) has effectively dismantled key Maoist networks in Jharkhand during 2025, neutralizing 20 high-ranking insurgents, including Central Committee Members, and apprehending others for crucial intelligence. Their operations led to significant material recoveries, including 32 automatic weapons and over 345 kilograms of explosives, severely disrupting the insurgency’s logistics and command structure. Analysts view these actions as pivotal in combating left-wing extremism, significantly boosting morale among security forces while instilling fear within Maoist ranks. This concerted effort underscores the importance of intelligence and operational effectiveness in restoring stability in Jharkhand.
