Authorities Recover Gold Biscuits from Maoist Supply Dumps in Chhattisgarh
Authorities have recovered at least 8 kg of gold biscuits from concealed Maoist supply dumps in Chhattisgarh's Bastar region over the past two years. Officials say the insurgents used gold as a liquid asset to protect wealth against demonetisation risks, as some cash in old currency notes remained unexchanged. These underground caches, often hidden in forests, contained combinations of arms and gold. Security forces expect further recoveries amid intensified anti-insurgency operations.
