An exchange of fire took place
between the CPI-Maoist cadres and the Police at Ghagra village
in Balaghat District. Acting on a tip off that a meeting of Maoists
of Davari Dalam of Gadchiroli District, was taking place
at Lodhiwara village, close to Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra border,
the Hawk Force personnel rushed to Ghagra village - a transit
route to Chhattisgarh and waited the whole night in the thick
of the forest to ambush Maoist dalam, Balaghat IG UR Netam
said. However, the Maoists got wind of the ambush plan of the
Police as a trained country dog accompanying the Maoists barked
at the hiding Police. Alerted, the Maoists escaped to Chhattisgarh
even as they kept firing at the Police.
