Security Forces (SFs) and cadres of the CPI-Maoist, exchanged fire at two locations in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh on August 25, reports News 18. The encounters took place in Narayanpur and Dantewada Districts of the State in the morning hours on the first day of the ‘martyrs’ week’ being observed by the Maoists, and no casualty was reported from either side, Police said. "In Narayanpur district, the gun-battle took place at around 11:30 am in the forest near Batumpara village under Orchha police station area when a joint team of security forces was out on a search operation," Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP), Sundarraj P said. He said a joint operation was launched on intelligence input that Maoists were planning to carry out a major attack on SFs near Raynar-Batumpara area during the ongoing ‘martyrs’ week’. Maoists had laid an ambush with multiple Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) near Batumpara, around 350 kilometres away from Raipur, he said. "However, security forces spotted the Naxal presence and tried to encircle them. Meanwhile, the Naxals triggered two IED blasts and opened indiscriminate firing," the DIG said, adding that the Maoists fled after around 40 minutes of heavy firing taking advantage of rains. However, nobody was injured in the exchange of fire from either side, he added. In the other incident, the encounter took place at around 8 am in the forest near Marjum village under Katekalyan Police Station area of Dantewada District, the DIGP said. He said the blood stains found at the spot indicated that some Maoists might have sustained injuries in the encounter.

Three cadres of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), including a woman cadre, were arrested after an exchange of fire with Security Forces (SFs) in a forested area between Mirchipara and Nahadi villages under Aranpur Police Station limits in Dantewada District on November 28, reports The Times of India. Superintendent of Police (SP), Abhishek Pallava said, acting on a tip-off about the presence of 30-40 Maoists led by 'commander' Gudadhur in the forests along the border of Dantewada-Sukma districts, the District Reserve Guard (DRG), its women wing 'Danteshwari Ladake' (fighters), the Special Task Force (STF), the Chhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF) and the Local Police launched an operation. When the SFs were combing the area, they came under fire from Maoists leading to an exchange of fire between them. While other cadres fled the scene, the SFs arrested three cadres, identified as Hadma Madkam (28), Kosi alias Shanti (28) - the woman cadre - and Deva Madkam (25). With a reward of INR 300,000 on his head, Hadma Madkam, the local guerrilla squad's 'deputy commander', had allegedly carried out several attacks on SFs since 2014.
