US Edition10 Naxals Killed in Encounter with Security Forces in Chhattisgarh's Gariaband
- On Thursday afternoon in Gariaband, Chhattisgarh, security forces killed ten Maoist insurgents, among whom was Modem Balakrishna, a top leader of the CPI-Maoist.
- The operation was carried out by combined forces from Gariaband’s Elite 30 unit, the Special Task Force, and the CoBRA battalion, acting on intelligence about Maoists concealed in the Mainpur forest.
- Balakrishna, who had a ₹1 crore bounty on his head, became involved with the Naxal movement many years ago, and his death represents a major setback to their operations in the region.
- Authorities arrested 26 active Maoists with bounties totaling ₹13 lakh in recent months, while 16 surrendered in Narayanpur, reflecting ongoing security efforts.
- These operations align with Union Home Minister Amit Shah's goal to eradicate left-wing terrorism by March 31, 2026, emphasizing continued focus on counterinsurgency and rehabilitation.
