Three Maoists killed in Chhattisgarh | Security forces gunned down three suspected Maoists during an encounter in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh on Tuesday. Officials said the police team
was on routine search operation when the rebels opened fire and were killed in
the crossfire. "During search operation bodies of three Maoists, two... gun, one
12-bore guns, one five kilogram tiffin bomb, detonators, wire, a bag, some utensils
and few medicines were recovered," said Rajendra Das, Additional Superintendent
of Police, Bijapur. Chhattisgarh is among the worst affected Maoist states in
the country. The main objective of the Maoists is to prevent the development of
infrastructure in remote areas, which so far has remained their exclusive domain.
The Maoists claim they are fighting for the rights of poor farmers and landless
labourers, but they are fast losing credibility as they continue attacking schools,
hospitals and infrastructure projects. |
