abujmarh

In a major initiative, chief minister Bhupesh Baghel announced the implementation of a full-fledged survey of the tribal heartland of Bastar’s abujmarh so that the aboriginal tribes residing in the villages of the region could avail benefits of many government schemes.

In a daring pre-election operation, C-60 commandos and CRPF teams stormed the Maoist stronghold of abujmarh, killing five guerrillas. The assault, involving over 2,500 rounds of fire, also saw a heroic airlift of a wounded commando. With sophisticated weapons seized, the action aims to wipe out Maoism by 2026.

Ankalu Dasru Tulavi, a notorious Maoist with 226 cases, including 54 killings, was killed in a siege of the Maoist headquarters in abujmarh on Oct 21. Tulavi, a key figure in the Maoist supply chain, resisted surrender for 33 years before being neutralized.

Security forces eliminated 31 Maoists in a major encounter at Indravati National Park's tiger reserve in Chhattisgarh. Maoists, using the park as a hideout, suffered a setback after losing their stronghold in abujmarh. Maharashtra police increased vigilance to prevent Maoist escape. Union Minister Amit Shah has set a deadline to eliminate Maoism from Chhattisgarh by March 26.

Maharashtra's C-60 commandos are preparing for a final assault on abujmarh, the Maoist headquarters, following the CM's visit. Simultaneously, Odisha police are intensifying searches in Sambalpur forests due to an influx of Maoists from Chhattisgarh. The operation aims to eliminate the Maoist presence, focusing on key leaders like Bhupathi and Kosa, who are evading capture in the challenging terrain.

Chhattisgarh police has described reports that its personnel and para-military forces have encircled top Maoist leader and outlawed CPI (Maoist) general secretary Ganapathy alias Muppala Lakshman Rao in the abujmarh forests in tribal Bastar region as “highly speculative”.
