In a significant development, security forces have unearthed a 130-metre-long and six-foot-deep tunnel constructed by Maoists in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur on Tuesday. Such tunnels provide both offensive and defensive advantages in guerrilla warfare.
While it is the first time such a tunnel has been discovered in Bijapur, there were inputs for over a year about the Maoists using this as a strategic move, said informed sources.
