Two women Maoists killed in Narayanpur

A search operation is currently underway in the jungle as security forces intensify anti-insurgency efforts in a Left-wing insurgency-affected state, where over 100 rebels have been killed so far this year.

A police statement said that a joint team of the district reserve guard (DRG) and the special task force (STF) was conducting an anti-Maoist operation on Wednesday based on intelligence inputs about the presence of senior cadres from the Maoists’ Maad division in the area.

The encounter started at night inside the forest under Kohkameta police station limits in the Abhujmaad area.
