A prolonged encounter between District Reserve Guard (DRG) personnel and Maoists is reportedly underway since Tuesday morning in the dense forested terrain of Gangaloor on Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district.
The operation, which began on Monday as part of a coordinated anti-Maoist offensive, has seen intermittent exchanges of fire, underscoring the persistent volatility in the region.
According to police sources, two DRG jawans sustained minor injuries during the gunfight. Both have been stabilised and are reported to be out of danger.
After receiving first aid at a local facility, they were referred to Raipur for advanced medical care and observations.
