In a significant anti-Maoist operation in Narayanpur district, Chhattisgarh, security forces have seized over ₹1 crore (approximately $120,000 USD) in cash and a large cache of weapons and explosives. The operation, which lasted for a month, was initiated after the state was declared free from armed Maoists on March 31. Narayanpur Superintendent of Police Robinson Guria stated that the operation was conducted under the 'Maad Bachao Abhiyan' initiative, with the involvement of district police, the District Reserve Guard, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, and the Border Security Force. Intelligence inputs and support from local villagers were crucial in locating multiple Maoist dumps hidden in the dense forests of Abhujmad. The recovered items included 28 weapons, such as three AK-47 rifles and various types of ammunition, along with explosive materials. Guria emphasized the importance of community cooperation in reporting any suspicious activities to enhance security efforts in the region.
