Kanker. A major incident took place in Kanker district during the visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to Chhattisgarh. A BSF jawan was injured while defusing an IED planted by Naxalites. The injured jawan is undergoing treatment in the camp, where his condition is said to be stable.
The incident is reported in the Koylibeda police station area. BSF jawans had gone out on a search operation from Panidobir camp. During this time, Naxalites had planted a bomb near Hetarkasa, which the jawans were trying to defuse. During this, the accident happened. The injured jawan has been sent to Raipur by helicopter after primary treatment at Panidobir camp.
Anti-Maoist operations have intensified in the districts of Sukma, Bijapur, Narayanpur, and Dantewada, resulting in the elimination of nine Maoists over the past three days.
A new security camp has also been established at Godinallakonda, further advancing the security forces’ presence in Maoist dominated areas, including Hidma’s stronghold of Puvarti. Shah is expected to visit some of these core Maoist areas on Monday, though details remain classified for security reasons.
