He said a joint operation was launched on intelligence input that Maoists were planning to carry out a major attack on SFs near Raynar-Batumpara area during the ongoing ‘martyrs’ week’. Maoists had laid an ambush with multiple Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) near Batumpara, around 350 kilometres away from Raipur, he said.

Meanwhile, the Naxals triggered two IED blasts and opened indiscriminate firing," the DIG said, adding that the Maoists fled after around 40 minutes of heavy firing taking advantage of rains. However, nobody was injured in the exchange of fire from either side, he added. In the other incident, the encounter took place at around 8 am in the forest near Marjum village under Katekalyan Police Station area of Dantewada District, the DIGP said.

A pressure Improvised Explosive Device (IED), planted by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), killed a teenage girl and injured two other women in an area under Peshrar Police Station limits in Lohardaga District of Jharkhand on December 24, reports Pioneer. The deceased has been identified as Jamuna Oraon (16), who inadvertently stepped on the IED and died on the spot in the explosion. Two injured women have been identified as – Sangeeta Oraon and Rouni Kumari. As per the Police, the Maoists have been planting pressure IEDs to target security forces in rural areas. Their move, however, is causing civilian casualties as the IEDs are easily triggered by the body weight of villagers who go to forests to gather wood. The Superintendent of Police (SP) Priyadarshi Alok said, “Maoists target Security Forces and not civilians. But their recent moves have caused many civilian casualties. They may have planted the IED during the polls to target Security Forces (SFs), and the girl became a victim”.
