The encounter, which occurred in the forested region of Koyalibeda area, marks a decisive blow against the insurgency in the region.
According to officials, the encounter ensued as police personnel acted on intelligence regarding the presence of Naxalites in the area. The joint team of police and Border Security Force (BSF) swiftly responded to the information and initiated a search operation.
Kanker Superintendent of Police, Indira Kalyan Elesela, confirmed the successful outcome of the operation, stating that three Naxalites were eliminated during the encounter. Additionally, two weapons were recovered from the encounter site, although the identities of the slain Naxalites are yet to be ascertained.
The encounter underscores the persistent efforts of security forces to combat Naxal insurgency in the state, particularly in the insurgency-hit areas like Kanker district. It reflects the commitment of law enforcement agencies to maintain peace and stability in the region despite the challenges posed by extremist elements.
This recent operation follows closely on the heels of another encounter in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district, where a Naxal was killed during an exchange of fire with the District Reserve Guards (DRG). The series of encounters highlights the ongoing efforts of security forces to counter Naxal activities across various regions of the state.
In a separate incident, two individuals were tragically killed in Sukma village by suspected Naxals who allegedly targeted them on suspicion of being police informers. This incident serves as a grim reminder of the dangers faced by civilians caught in the crossfire of Naxal insurgency.
