Maoist camp in Gariaband busted by security forces, 16L cash seized
Raipur: A huge cache of arms and explosives was recovered from the forests of Gariaband district of Chhattisgarh when a joint team inter-district police, CRPF and CoBRA had launched an anti-Naxal operation on Sunday. Cash worth Rs 16.5 lakh was seized from the site of encounter. The forces were combing the forests of village Gobra in Manpur region when a group of armed Maoists opened firing upon the security personnel and faced retaliation, said Raipur range inspector general of police Amresh Mishra. After brief exchange of fire, Maoists retreated into forests. Security personnel launched a search in the area and recovered a dump of arms and ammunition, that indicated Maoists were hatching a plan for an attack. The joint team of Dhamtari and Gariaband district police along with paramilitary forces collected the cache and brought it back to base at district headquarters, the official said. The seizure included INSAS rifles, country made weapons, pistols, revolvers, magazines of AK-47, SLR, INSAS and .303, and live rounds along with explosives like detonators, pressure cooker IED, laptop, walkie talkie set and large quantity of medicines, literature of outlawed Maoist organization and daily use items. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The 5 Books Warren Buffett Recommends You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Police said the recovery points to the presence of senior Maoist cadres in the area and that the camp was being used as a logistics hub.

IG Mishra said that the entire operation was carried out with strict coordination between state police and central forces. Officials said the seizure has dealt a serious blow to Maoist activities in Gariaband, and search operations are being further intensified in the region.

BJP MLA demands status report on SIT investigation in burials case
Members of Dharmasthala Bhaktabhimani Balaga took out a protest march in Nippani on Sunday against what they called attempts to defame Dharmasthala. The protestors walked to the Tahsildar office and submitted a petition to the State government through the Tahsildar. BJP MLA Shashikala Jolle, who is a former Minister, led the rally. She said that there is a conspiracy to defame Dharmasthala and the Dharmadhikari Veerendra Heggade. She said that some anti-Hindu forces are orchestrating the conspiracy with the support of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. 'However, all such conspiracies will die and the truth will come out. All the allegations against Dharmasthala and the Dharmadhikari will turn out to be false,' she said. 'We are organising the rally to express solidarity with Dharmasthala. We are with the Srikshetra and the Dharmadhikari. We will not allow the holy place to be desecrated,' she said. She demanded that the State government release the SIT investigation report so far to shed light on the conspiracies being carried out against Hindu religious centers and to finally shed light on the confusion created by vested interests in the name of Dharmasthala. Members of the municipal council, Mahila Morcha and Yuva Morcha and others were present.

Four hardcore Maoists surrender in Chhattisgarh's Gariaband district
In a major success for anti-LWE operations in central India, four notorious Maoists surrendered before security forces in Gariaband district, marking a significant setback for the insurgent network active in the region. Among those who laid down arms was Deepak a.k.a. Bhima Mandavi, a divisional committee member (DVCM) with a reward of Rs 8 lakh. The total bounty on the surrendered cadres stood at Rs 19 lakh, senior police officials said. The other three included Kailash a.k.a. Bhima Bhogam, a member of the Protection Team; Ranita a.k.a. Paiki, an Area Committee member; and Sujita a.k.a. Uren Karam. With rewards ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh, all four had been active in the Dhamtari-Gariaband-Nuapada Division since 2013. Acting on Intelligence shared by the surrendered Maoists, security forces recovered Rs 16 lakh in cash from suspected hideouts. The operation also yielded 31 live cartridges, two empty magazines, detonators, eight BGL rounds, 12 bore ammunition, and a trove of Maoist literature believed to be used for indoctrination and recruitment. Their surrender is being seen as a strategic breakthrough, especially in the wake of recent setbacks suffered by the Maoists organisation, said the officials. Based on information provided by the surrendered cadres, security forces recovered Rs 16 lakh in cash, 31 live cartridges, two empty magazines, eight BGL rounds, detonators, 12 bore ammunition, and a cache of Maoist literature. Officials believe the cash was part of the group's operational funding, hidden in forested hideouts to support logistics and recruitment. The development comes months after a high-impact offensive in January 2025, when 16 Maoists — including Central Committee member Jairam alias Chalpathi—were killed in a joint operation near the Chhattisgarh-Odisha border. That operation, backed by drone surveillance and coordinated intelligence, has since triggered a visible breakdown in the Maoist command structure. Raipur Range IG Amarendra Mishra and IG Naxal Operations Ankit Garg, confirmed that the organisation is facing a deepening crisis. The financial and leadership vacuum has accelerated the pace of surrenders. Cadres are demoralised and increasingly choosing to abandon the movement, Mishra said. Security agencies believe the cumulative impact of leadership losses, financial disruption, and sustained pressure is pushing more Maoists toward surrender. With each defection, the operational grip of the insurgents continues to loosen—offering a measure of relief to communities long caught in the crossfire. The latest surrender not only weakens the Maoist infrastructure but also signals a shift in morale, suggesting that the state's strategy of coordinated action and rehabilitation is beginning to yield results.
