Maoist Casualties Hit 250 in Chhattisgarh After Bijapur Encounter Eliminates Three Insurgents

Chhattisgarh’s anti-Naxal drive crossed a major milestone as Maoist casualties in 2025 rose to 250 after security forces killed three insurgents in a Bijapur encounter under “Operation Black Forest.” The joint CRPF-DRG-CoBRA action recovered arms, explosives, and propaganda material, reflecting intensified surveillance and forward deployments. While CM Vishnu Deo Sai and Union Home Minister Amit Shah hailed progress toward a Naxal-free India by 2026, rights groups flagged 28 civilian deaths, prompting a ₹300 crore rehabilitation package for affected families.
