Chhattisgarh Security Forces Gear Up for Final Assault on Maoists
The government is planning a big attack to get rid of the Maoists, a group of armed rebels, in a forest in Chhattisgarh.
Top officials are meeting to plan this attack, which is part of a larger plan to make India free of Maoists by 2026.
The security forces will try to surround the Maoists so they can't escape.
They have already set up many bases in areas once controlled by the rebels.
In the past, the security forces have killed many Maoists and taken control of some of their strongholds.
Recent operations included a successful one on Karreguttalu Hill, where many Maoists were killed, and many weapons were recovered.
Security forces are preparing for a 'final assault' on Maoists in Chhattisgarh's Abujhmad forest.
Senior officials are strategizing and reviewing anti-Naxal operations.
The goal is to eliminate Maoist presence by the government's 2026 deadline.
Security forces will use a pincer attack strategy to trap the Maoists.
Recent operations have resulted in the killing of many Maoists and the establishment of forward bases.
