A dramatic showdown unfolds in the heart of Bijapur’s southern jungles, where DRG personnel are engaged in a relentless firefight with Maoist insurgents. Sparked by solid intel on a large rebel contingent, the search operation kicked off pre-dawn Wednesday, escalating into combat by morning.
As DRG advanced cautiously through booby-trapped paths, Maoists sprang their trap around 7 AM, firing from elevated cover. The jawans’ swift counterattack has kept the insurgents on the defensive, with sporadic shooting persisting hours later.
The area’s unforgiving geography—towering hills and impenetrable forests—demands precision maneuvers. Reinforcements have transformed the zone into a no-escape fortress, heightening pressure on the fleeing Maoists.
Police chief Dr. Jitendra Yadav updated that operations proceed smoothly with zero losses on the security side. He cautioned residents to steer clear and ignore social media speculation, as real-time monitoring ensures safety.
This episode reflects intensified counter-insurgency drives in Chhattisgarh, eroding Maoist safe havens one operation at a time. Expect comprehensive reports on outcomes, including weapons hauls, only after the area is fully sanitized.
