Security Forces Achieve Major Victory, Killing 31 Maoists in Chhattisgarh

In a meticulously planned operation, Indian security forces targeted a Maoist stronghold in the dense forests of Abujhmad, marking the deadliest encounter this year.

The operation involved approximately 1,500 security personnel, including the District Reserve Guard and Special Task Force, who engaged in a nine-hour firefight.
Key Maoist leaders, including Kamlesh and Niti alias Urmila, were among the 31 rebels killed, dealing a significant blow to the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee.
The encounter took place in the remote Abujhmad forest, a known Maoist bastion, located on the Narayanpur-Dantewada border.
Weapons recovered from the site included AK-47s, light machine guns, and other firearms, underscoring the presence of high-ranking Maoist cadres.
This operation follows a series of successful anti-Maoist campaigns in the region, with over 180 Maoists killed and more than 200 arrested this year alone.
