In a monumental achievement for India's security forces, Union Home Minister Amit Shah confirmed the elimination of 31 notorious Naxal insurgents in the largest-ever operation against Naxalism. The action unfolded at the Kurraguttalu Hills, straddling Chhattisgarh and Telangana, significantly crippling Naxal operations in the area.
Home Minister Shah expressed his accolades to the involved forces—CRPF, STF, and DRG—who managed to carry out this operation in an inhospitable and challenging terrain within just 21 days. He highlighted the absence of any security force casualties, with Indian forces reclaiming a region once dominated by top Naxal groups.
The operation, dubbed 'Operation Black Forest,' is part of a broader government initiative to eradicate Naxalism by March 31, 2026. CRPF Director General Gyanendra Pratap Singh disclosed that 28 of the 31 neutralized militants have been identified, reflecting a concerted effort to dismantle Naxal networks comprehensively.
