Raipur, Jan 14 (LatestNewsX) Bijapur district in Chhattisgarh witnessed two significant
anti-Maoist operations as security forces successfully recovered multiple
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and a Maoist dump in separate actions
carried out under Bhopalpatnam and Madded police station limits.
These recoveries highlight the continued vigilance and proactive measures of the
forces against Maoist activities in the region.
In the first operation, security personnel from Madded police station, along
with the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS), detected and recovered two command IEDs
weighing 10 kilograms each. The devices were planted in a series along the
Somnapalli–Bandepara dirt road by Maoists, intended to target security convoys
and disrupt movement. Acting swiftly and cautiously, the police and the BDS team
neutralised the threat by safely retrieving the explosives. Later, the BDS team
from Bijapur destroyed the devices on-site, adhering strictly to safety
protocols to ensure no harm was caused to personnel or civilians.
Meanwhile, in a parallel operation under the Bhopalpatnam police station
jurisdiction, a joint team from Camp Kandalaparti-2, comprising personnel of
Keripu 214 Battalion and district force, conducted a search and de-mining
campaign in the Kondapadgu forest area. During the operation, the team recovered
two pressure IEDs, each weighing 2 kilograms. These explosives were immediately
destroyed at the site by the Keripu 214 BDD team, preventing potential
casualties and damage.
Additionally, during the search in Kondapadgu, security forces discovered two
white drums buried underground. These drums contained ration supplies stockpiled
by Maoists, intended to sustain their cadres in the forested terrain. The
recovery of these supplies further weakens Maoist logistical capabilities in the
area.
Officials emphasised that such recoveries demonstrate the effectiveness of
ongoing anti-Maoist operations and the determination of security forces to
dismantle insurgent infrastructure. Continuous surveillance and combing
operations are being carried out to ensure the safety of local communities and
to curb Maoist influence in sensitive regions of Bijapur.
The successful neutralisation of these explosives and seizure of Maoist
resources underscores the commitment of security forces to maintaining peace and
security. Authorities reiterated that strict monitoring of Maoist activities
will continue, with intensified efforts to prevent any attempts to disrupt law
and order in the district.
