In Chhattisgarh, security forces made a significant breakthrough by discovering and neutralizing a major Maoist explosives stash near Kursingbahar village. The cache, found in the forested hills, contained various explosives and materials, including an Improvised Explosive Device and detonators. The Bomb Disposal Squad safely disposed of the explosives, preventing potential threats and contributing to the anti-Maoist efforts in the region.
Recent successes in the fight against Maoists in Chhattisgarh have included significant surrenders and operations targeting Naxalite networks. The recent operation on January 13, 2026, was based on precise intelligence, showcasing ongoing efforts to dismantle insurgent groups in the area. This recovery marks a substantial setback for Maoist activities, safeguarding civilians and security personnel from potential attacks.
Led by Superintendent of Police Gaurav Rai and Additional Superintendent RK Barman, the operation involved multiple units, including the CRPF’s Young Platoon and Bomb Disposal Squad. The collaborative effort, which also included various police units, reflects the intensified anti-Naxal patrolling and search operations in Dantewada. The state government’s comprehensive approach aims to eradicate Naxalism by 2026, aligning with broader efforts to combat Left-Wing Extremism in the region.
