Maoists who are active in the Bastar region often use each as a fatal strategy against security forces. These devices are usually planted on the edges of roads and raw footpaths, aimed at targeting security personnel during patrolling in remote forest areas. Citizens have also become the victim of such nets in the past. The attack occurred a few days after a similar incident in the Narayanpur district, where a 25 -year -old man died and another was injured on April 4. In addition, there were several other deadly attacks in the region, including the explosion of a 40 -year -old tribal woman on March 30. On February 15, a CRPF command of the Cobra unit was injured in the pressure that exploded in the same district, and earlier in February another CRPF Jawan was injured in a similar attack in the SUKMA district. The use of such explosives by Naxalites in the militant areas of Chhattisgarh remains a major threat to the safety of security forces as well as local citizens. Officers are cautious and continue their efforts to deal with naxalite violence, ensuring security of security personnel and the public. Share this story -tags
