Maharashtra Police bust Naxal camp on Chhattisgarh border

Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli police busted a Maoist camp on the Chhattisgarh border and seized several incriminating materials, including Naxal literature, cordex wire, and detonators.

They acted on credible intelligence revealing the presence of armed cadres from Kasansur Chatgaon Dalam and Aundhi Dalam of Chhattisgarh, camping near Chutintola village, 12 km east of SPS Pendhari in Mohalla Manpur District. Their suspected aim was to organise subversive activities ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha General Election.

In a swift response, an anti-Naxal operation was initiated and on Saturday, the teams scaled a hilltop towering 450 metres high, only to find the Naxals had fled the area, District Superintendent of Police (SP) Neelotpal said on March 31.
