CM Vishnudev’s tweet on Naxalite encounter
Eight Naxalites have reportedly been killed in a clash between security forces and Naxalites in the Farasbeda-Dhurbeda area, under the jurisdiction of Orchha police station in Narayanpur district. Tragically, one Special Task Force (STF) jawan has been martyred, while two others have sustained injuries during the encounter. The injured jawans are being promptly airlifted and transported to the capital city of Raipur for immediate medical attention. May the soul of the martyred jawan rest in peace, and may the injured jawans recover swiftly. The Naxalites are evidently perturbed by the stringent actions being taken against them. Our government remains fully committed to eradicating their presence, and we shall not rest until our objective is accomplished.

A collection of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and a pressure cooker bomb, each loaded with 30 kg of explosives, were successfully seized by security forces in Bijapur, Chhattisgarh. This operation was carried out collaboratively by the district force and the bomb disposal squad of 231 BN CRPF.
