One of the most feared Maoist leaders Urmila, wife of senior operative Papa Rao, along with Buchanna Kudiyam, are among the six Naxalites, including three women insurgents, killed in an encounter with security personnel in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district on November 11, police said on Thursday.
Speaking to ANI, Inspector General of Police Bastar P Sundarraj stated that an operation was launched on November 11 based on the “suspicion of the presence” of the CP Maoist organisation in the Bijapur district. District Reserve Guards (DRG) from Bijapur, Dantewada, Special Task Force and other security forces were involved in the operation. “During the operation, several encounters took place between the security forces and the Maoists. After the encounter, the dead bodies of six Maoists, including three women Maoists, were recovered from the spot by the security forces…,” IG Sundarraj told reporters.
The Maoists were identified as Divisional Committee member Kanna, who is in charge of the Central Area Committee, and other Area Committee member Jagat, and other party members, Mangali, and Bhagat; thus, a total of six Maoists have been identified…,” IG Sundarraj briefed the reporters. “A large number of graded weapons, like AK-47s, LMGs, and INSASs, were recovered by security forces… Our security forces are capable and prepared…,” IG Sundarraj added.
Earlier, IG Sundarraj said that they were hopeful to fulfil their goal to make Chhattisgarh naxal-free by March 31, 2026, and in the last 20 months, more than 2200 naxals joined the mainstream.
Speaking to ANI, P Sundarraj said, “Left Wing Extremism has been a bigger security challenge not just for Bastar and Chhattisgarh but the major part of the country for the last few decades. The last few years have been very decisive for the security forces in the Bastar region. In the last two seasons, we have recovered over 450 Naxalite bodies in the Bastar region. In this period, the bodies of top naxal cadres like Basavaraju and others were recovered. In the last couple of months, more than 300 Maoist cadres, including the Central committee and Politburo members and other Divisional committee members, have decided to shun violence and join the mainstream.”
