Security Forces Recover 711 BGL Shells Hidden by Maoists in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur
Security forces in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district recovered 711 barrel grenade launcher (BGL) shells hidden by Maoists near the Karregutta hills, acting on specific intelligence. The joint operation involved local police, CRPF, and CoBRA units. Authorities advised civilians to avoid the area due to potential explosive devices, with a demining operation planned. The region, once a Maoist stronghold, saw previous security operations, including a 21-day campaign last year that resulted in 31 Maoist deaths.
