In Narayanpur, Chhattisgarh on Thursday, a tense situation unfolded as two Naxalites were engaged in a deadly encounter with security personnel. The clash took place in a dense forest area that borders the Narayanpur and Bijapur districts. According to the local police, the intense gunfight erupted around 11am while a joint team of security personnel was carrying out an anti-Naxal operation.
Superintendent of Police Prabhat Kumar stated that the operation is still ongoing and has resulted in the deaths of two Naxalites. Along with their bodies, weapons were also found at the site of the encounter. The joint team of security personnel involved in the operation includes members from the District Reserve Guard in Dantewada, Narayanpur, and Bastar districts, as well as the Bastar Fighters and Special Task Force, all of which are units of the state police.
The operation was launched based on intelligence reports that indicated the presence of cadres from the Indravati Area Committee of Maoists in the area. As of now, the operation is still in progress and further details are yet to be revealed. This is a developing situation and the authorities are working diligently to bring it to a peaceful resolution.
Unfortunately, this is not the first encounter between Naxalites and security forces in Chhattisgarh this year. With this incident, the death toll of Naxalites in such clashes has reached 107 in the state alone. The government and security personnel are constantly working towards maintaining peace and stability in the region, but the threat of Naxalites continues to be a major challenge. We can only hope for a swift and successful resolution to this ongoing situation.
