The security forces in Chhattisgarh conducted two raids in Narayanpur district. They reportedly destroyed one Maoist camp in the Abujhmad region and arrested two Maoists who were involved in damaging roads last year.
According to the reports, the region of Abujhmad is huge and the Maoists have a stronghold on it.
A joint team was made collaborating District Reserve Guard (DRG), Narayanpur police and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) for a search operation for a Maoist camp following the leads they received of it being set up in the Bhatbeda village of Abujhmad which is reportedly 60kms from Narayanpur city.
Superintendent of Police Hemsagar Sidar told the media, “However, before we could reach the camp, the Maoists were alerted by their informers and they managed to flee deep into the Bhatbeda forest."
