FiveCommunist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, including two ‘commander-level’ cadres, were killed in two separate exchanges of fire during an operation launched by Chhattisgarh Police in Narayanpur District on January 10, reports The Indian Express. Senior officials, however, said that one District Reserve Group (DRG) trooper was killed in the first exchange of fire with the Maoist cadres. Teams with close to 400 Security Forces (SFs) entered the jungles in an area that is home to CPI-Maoist military company number two. D M Awasthi, Special Director General, anti-Maoist operations, told The Indian Express, “The operation was launched on a specific intelligence input about the presence of CPI-Maoist cadres in the area. In the first exchange of fire in the morning in Irpenar, four CPI-Maoist cadres were killed. One trooper was also hurt and evacuated, but he unfortunately passed away.” Intermittent firing continued. In the second exchange of fire, this time in the adjoining Kanker District’s Koylibeda area, one CPI-Maoist cadre was killed and an AK-47 recovered from his possession. The CPI-Maoist cadres killed in the first exchange of fire have been identified as Tirupati, ‘Divisional Commander’, East Bastar division, Ratna Markam, ‘medical in-charge’, company number 6, Shyamu Yadav of company number 6 and Mangalram Salam, a Janmilitia member from Irpenar. The body recovered in the second encounter has been identified as that of Roshan, ‘divisional commander’ of the North Bastar division. “It is clear that there has been a big loss to the CPI-Maoist cadres in this encounter. We have recovered the bodies, but our personnel have narrated stories of the CPI-Maoist cadres dragging away other members of their party under the cover of Light Machine Gun (LMG) fire. This indicates that these could be senior cadre,” Awasthi added.

Meanwhile, a Can-bomb weighing around 20 kilograms and a 200-metre electric wire were found from a one-foot deep pit at Shantinagar under Adityapur Thana (Police post) area in Seraikela-Kharsawan District on July 3, reports The Telegraph. Informed by a local resident, Police swung into action by pressing into service a bomb disposal squad from Ranchi who blasted the bomb. Seraikela-Kharsawan Superintendent of Police (SP), Chandan Kumar Sinha said, "The bomb had been kept hidden, but we can't say whether it had been kept there by any rebel outfit. May be the bomb was kept for future use." He said Police were trying hard to identify the persons involved in bringing the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) to a place like Shantinagar. However, a source in Adityapur said it was the handiwork of CPI-Maoist rebels. "The rebels had made their presence felt up to Kandra during 2010, when the Naxalite [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)] activities were at their peak. Kandra, which is also under Seraikela-Kharsawan, is 15km from the spot where the bomb was found," a Police officer said.
