In a significant operation in Chhattisgarh's Kanker district, security personnel recovered a firearm, cartridges, and Maoist-related materials following a skirmish with Naxalites. On Monday, an anti-Naxalite team comprised of Border Security Force and local police engaged in a gunfight in the forested hills between Tekapani and Badgaon villages.
Acting on precise intelligence, the security forces launched the operation, resulting in Naxalites fleeing into dense forests. The BSF, deployed extensively in the district, played a crucial role in zeroing in on the Maoist cadres.
From the encounter site, authorities recovered a revolver with 22 cartridges, torch, Naxalite literature, and a large array of daily use items, securing vital evidence while intensifying the crackdown on insurgent activities.
