Three Maoists Killed in Chhattisgarh Encounter; Search Operation Ongoing
In the forests of a district called Bijapur, police and special forces were searching for bad guys who were hiding.
On Wednesday, they found some of them, and a fight happened.
Police sources say three of the bad guys were killed, and they found their weapons.
The police are still looking around to make sure everyone is found.
This is part of a bigger plan by the government to stop the Maoists, who are a group that used to fight the government.
The government has been catching, killing, and getting many Maoists to surrender.
They are also trying to help the people who used to be Maoists to live normal lives.

The clash occurred in the Tarlaguda region, near the Telangana border, during an ongoing combing operation.
Security forces recovered three bodies and seized weapons from the encounter site.
The encounter is part of intensified counter-insurgency efforts, with a government target to eradicate Maoism by March 2026.
