In a morning operation, security personnel engaged in an anti-Naxal operation in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district encountered Naxalites in a forest area. The exchange of fire led to the death of a Naxalite, with a weapon recovered from the scene. This marks the 81st Naxalite casualty this year in the Bastar region, including Sukma. The ongoing search operation signifies continued efforts to maintain security in the area following the recent encounter in Kanker district where 29 Naxalites were neutralized.
