Two Female Maoists Killed in First Monsoon Encounter in Chhattisgarh
In a region of India called Bastar, where it often rains a lot, there was a fight between police and some rebels called Maoists.
This was the first fight during the rainy season.
The police found two female Maoists who were killed.
The police were looking for Maoists because they knew they were in the area.
After the fight, the police found guns and explosives.
The police are still looking for other Maoists who may have run away.
The government had said they would keep fighting the Maoists even during the rainy season when it's harder to travel.
Two female Maoists were killed in an encounter with security forces in Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur district.
The encounter took place in the Abujhmad area, marking the first such incident this monsoon season.
Security forces launched a joint operation based on intelligence about Maoist presence.
The slain Maoists were identified as Seema and Linge, both with significant bounties on their heads.
Weapons, ammunition, and explosives were recovered; search operations continue to find other Maoists.
