Four persons, including a woman, were injured on February 3 as a private passenger bus they were travelling in was hit by a landmine blast triggered by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur District, reports The Hindu. Some Police personnel were also on board, but they were not harmed. “Four civilians, including a woman and the bus conductor, sustained minor injuries in the low-intensity blast near Maharbeda village under Jhara Police Station limits,” a senior Police official said. The bus, carrying about sixty passengers, was heading towards Orchha from Narayanpur town. As the bus reached Rakasnala rivulet between Dhaudai and Jhara, rebels triggered the blast and opened fire. But they retreated into the forest when the Police retaliated, he said. Last year on April 18, a passenger bus had escaped a similar low-intensity landmine blast on the same route, in the same area.

Three members of a family, identified as Balkishore Shahdeo, Jal Kishore Shahdeo and Pramod, have been killed allegedly by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres at Murmu village in Lohardaga District on March 21, reports Zee News. The family was on a hunting trip when they were kidnapped from Sahedpat village. Their bodies were found early on March 22 morning near Marayan forest under the Jowang Police Station limits. Maoist sources claimed they were killed because they were police informers. “The Shahdeos resisted Left-Wing Extremists since they entered the area in 1991,” said Lohardaga Superintendent of Police (SP) Manoj Ratan Chothe. The Shahdeos were landowners and of royal lineage, which made them a target for the Maoists.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres blew up an Anti-Landmine Vehicle of the Chhattisgarh Police, killing five personnel in Dantewada district on April 13, reports The Hindu. “Maoists targeted an Anti-Landmine Vehicle which was on a search operation near Khudiyapara village of Dantewada around 2.30 p.m. on Monday. The vehicle was carrying 12 jawans [troopers] of the CAF (Chhattisgarh Armed Force) and the district police, including the driver. Dantewada SP reached the spot immediately after the encounter and rushed the injured jawans to Kirandul hospital. However, four jawans died in the hospital,” said a statement issued by the Chhattisgarh police headquarters in Raipur. Another jawan succumbed to injuries while being taken to Jagdalpur for treatment, taking the toll to five. Seven jawans were injured, an officer posted in Bastar said. The Times of India reports that Dantewada District Superintendent of Police (SP) Kamal Lochan Kashyap said, "Guerrillas triggered a powerful blast near a culvert, targeting the mine-protected vehicle. Rebels used 100 kg of explosives. Magnitude of explosion was so intense that the 50-tonne anti-landmine vehicle was tossed in the air and fell upside down." The blast left an 18-foot deep crater on the ground and rifles, guns and explosives lay strewn around. It seemed the trap was laid afresh as connecting wire that connected explosives at a distance of 150 metres looked new. "After the blast, Maoists resorted to indiscriminate firing to inflict heavy casualties on security forces," he said. Explosions and subsequent gunshots alerted security forces at nearby Cholnar camp, who rushed to the site.

The gun battle ensued when a group of armed Maoists opened indiscriminate fire on a joint team of Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA), Special Task Force (STF) and the state's District Reserve Group (DRG), who were conducting anti-Maoist operation in the region. SFs retaliated and the gunfight lasted for around two hours. The Police recovered bodies of three Maoists along with two rifles from the spot. After gunning down the three Maoists in an encounter in Sukma, Chhattisgarh Police on November 3, said the SFs would continue its operation with an aim to hunt down top Maoist leaders, adds The Times of India. Talking to reporters at Jagdalpur, the divisional headquarters of Bastar, Inspector General of Police (IGP) (Bastar range) S R P Kalluri said senior Maoist leaders, who hail from the neighbouring states, usually push the local dalam (armed squad) members in the forefront. "Our aim is to cordon the area and strike against the Maoist leadership", he added. Kalluri said the DRG personnel, constituting locals, are already back after training in jungle warfare and are engaged in the operations. He said Maoist cadres, including the grass root level dalam and other supporters, would be encouraged to surrender and avail the benefits of state government's rehabilitation policy.
