Raipur/Bijapur, Nov 11
A Maoist was detained after he was injured during a fresh encounter with security forces in the dense forests of Annaram in the Tarlagud area of Bijapur district on Tuesday evening, police officials said.
It is another tactical gain in the sustained anti-Naxal operations across Chhattisgarh’s volatile interstate border regions. The gun battle erupted as part of intensified search-and-destroy missions targeting Maoist hideouts in the forested pockets along the Maharashtra and Telangana boundaries.
Security forces remain on high alert for retaliatory ambushes, a common Maoist tactic in response to such setbacks.
For now, the focus remains on maintaining pressure and ensuring no Maoist elements regroup in the strategically sensitive border corridor.
