FiveCommunist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, including two ‘commander-level’ cadres, were killed in two separate exchanges of fire during an operation launched by Chhattisgarh Police in Narayanpur District on January 10, reports The Indian Express. Senior officials, however, said that one District Reserve Group (DRG) trooper was killed in the first exchange of fire with the Maoist cadres. Teams with close to 400 Security Forces (SFs) entered the jungles in an area that is home to CPI-Maoist military company number two. D M Awasthi, Special Director General, anti-Maoist operations, told The Indian Express, “The operation was launched on a specific intelligence input about the presence of CPI-Maoist cadres in the area. In the first exchange of fire in the morning in Irpenar, four CPI-Maoist cadres were killed. One trooper was also hurt and evacuated, but he unfortunately passed away.” Intermittent firing continued. In the second exchange of fire, this time in the adjoining Kanker District’s Koylibeda area, one CPI-Maoist cadre was killed and an AK-47 recovered from his possession. The CPI-Maoist cadres killed in the first exchange of fire have been identified as Tirupati, ‘Divisional Commander’, East Bastar division, Ratna Markam, ‘medical in-charge’, company number 6, Shyamu Yadav of company number 6 and Mangalram Salam, a Janmilitia member from Irpenar. The body recovered in the second encounter has been identified as that of Roshan, ‘divisional commander’ of the North Bastar division. “It is clear that there has been a big loss to the CPI-Maoist cadres in this encounter. We have recovered the bodies, but our personnel have narrated stories of the CPI-Maoist cadres dragging away other members of their party under the cover of Light Machine Gun (LMG) fire. This indicates that these could be senior cadre,” Awasthi added.

The commandos from the State Anti-Naxal Squad (ANS), Commandos-60 (C-60), of the Maharashtra Police killed seven Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, including five women cadres, in an encounter in Kalled forest under the Jinganoor Police Station limits in Sironcha tehsil (revenue unit) of Gadchiroli District on December 6, reports The Hindu.

The women cadres killed in the encounter belonged to the Sironcha dalam (armed squad). The Police team also recovered two Self-Loading Rifles (SLRs), two 303 guns, two locally made guns and other Maoist literature from the spot. Further, SIGP, Shelar stated, “There has been a spurt in the violent activities by the Maoists in Gadchiroli especially this week because they are observing the PLGA [Maoists’ military wing the People’s Liberation Guerilla Army] week. It is their strategy to terrorise common people. But this [Wednesday’s encounter] was a major success for us.”One of the seven Maoists killed is suspected to be Jadi Pushpa alias Balamma of Bellampally town in Mancherial District of Telengana. “We are assuming that Pushpa was killed in encounter as civil rights activists met her family members at Chandravelli village to condole her death,” revealed a source in the Police department. “A positive identity would be established only after the Maharashtra Police releases her details,” he added. Pushpa, who is also known as Rajeshwari and Rajeshwarakka, joined the underground outfit about 20 years back. She was working in Dandakaranya area in Chhattisgarh and carried a SLR and a reward of INR 400,000. The identities of the remaining six cadres are yet to be ascertained.
