karegutta hills

In a momentous occasion, the Tricolour was raised for the first time in 41 villages once gripped by Maoist fear across Chhattisgarh's Bijapur, Narayanpur, and Sukma districts. This landmark event, especially at the majestic karegutta hills, symbolizes a resurgence of security and a reinforced state presence, empowering tribal communities to step into a new era of democracy and development.

Eleven security personnel, including ten from the DRG and one from CoBRA, were injured in six pressure IED blasts by Maoists in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district. The incidents occurred during an anti-Naxal operation near karegutta hills. Three personnel are in critical condition, with some suffering severe leg and eye injuries. Security forces have intensified operations in the area.

Security forces inflicted a significant blow to Maoists in the karegutta hills operation, eliminating 31 PLGA cadres and dismantling their unified command center. The operation, spanning 24 days, involved intense gun battles and the destruction of weapons manufacturing factories. Security forces aim to eradicate the Maoist threat by 2026, citing intensified operations and development efforts in affected regions

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai visited Galgam village, celebrating the success of Operation karegutta hills, which eliminated 31 Maoists and seized a large cache of arms. Sai commended the CRPF jawans' courage and emphasized the government's commitment to transforming security camps into facilitation centers. He reiterated the goal of making Chhattisgarh Maoist-free by March 2026.

As security forces intensify operations against Maoists in Bijapur amidst rising temperatures, political tensions escalate. Former Telangana CM KCR's call to halt the karegutta hills operation, citing tribal casualties, is met with strong opposition from Chhattisgarh's Deputy CM, who questions the sudden concern for peace after years of Maoist violence against innocent villagers and political leaders.

For three days, villagers near the Chhattisgarh-Telangana border heard gunshots and explosions, unaware that thousands of troops were conducting a massive anti-Maoist operation in the karegutta hills. Security forces have been clearing IEDs planted by Maoists preparing for a high-level meeting. The operation, involving multiple states, was confirmed by police after 72 hours of intense activity.

For the first time, the Tricolour was hoisted in 41 villages across Chhattisgarh's Bijapur, Narayanpur, and Sukma districts, previously under Maoist influence. This significant event, marking a victory for democracy and development, occurred despite security personnel sustaining injuries from an IED blast during an operation. These celebrations signify a new era of peace and progress for the region.

Home Minister Amit Shah visited AIIMS Trauma Centre to check on CRPF and Chhattisgarh Police personnel injured during the 21-day anti-Naxal operation ‘Blackforest’. The operation in the Karreguttalu Hills resulted in injuries, some serious, from IED blasts.
