In an emblematic battle against Naxalite insurgents, Rolo, a two-year-old Belgian Shepherd from the CRPF, has been hailed as a martyr. The valiant canine was the sole casualty during a 21-day anti-Naxal operation in the Korgotalu hills.
Assigned to detect explosives, Rolo encountered a deadly bee attack that eventually claimed her life on April 27. Despite immediate attempts by her handlers to shield and treat her, Rolo succumbed to multiple stings. Her bravery has been acknowledged with a commendation medal awarded posthumously.
The operation, involving the Central Reserve Police Force and Chhattisgarh Police, resulted in significant Maoist losses, including the elimination of 31 insurgents. However, the mission also saw 18 troops injured, underscoring the high-risk challenges faced in these operations.
