The Secret War Against Naxalites #blackforest #anti-naxal

@'Operation Black Forest' was a significant 21-day anti-Naxal operation conducted by a joint force of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and state police in the Karregutalu Hills (KGH) area, located on the border between Chhattisgarh and Telangana. The operation took place from April 21st to May 11th, 2025.
Here's a breakdown of the key details:
* Objective: To dismantle #Naxal hideouts and operational infrastructure, neutralize top #Maoist leadership, and regain control over this insurgent stronghold, contributing to the government's goal of eliminating Naxalism by March 2026.
* Location: #Karregutalu_Hills (KGH), a densely forested and hilly terrain spanning approximately 1,200 sq km along the #Chhattisgarh-Telangana border. This area was considered a long-time "no-go zone" and a strategic base for Naxals.
* Forces Involved: A large contingent of security personnel, including the #CRPF (including their elite #CoBRA units), Chhattisgarh Police, Special Task Force (#STF), and District Reserve Guard (#DRG). Over 1000 troops were reportedly involved.
* Outcome (as reported by security forces):
* 31 Naxals killed: These included top commanders and carried a collective bounty of ₹1.72 crore. 28 of the 31 bodies were identified.
* Extensive destruction of Naxal infrastructure: Over 214 hideouts and bunkers were destroyed.
* @Large recovery of arms and explosives: This included 450 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), 818 Brigade Grenade Launcher (BGL) shells, a large quantity of explosive material (approximately two tonnes), and numerous weapons.
* Dismantling of weapon manufacturing units: Four technical units used for producing BGL shells, homemade weapons, and #IEDs were destroyed.
* Recovery of supplies: Nearly 12,000 kilograms of food supplies were also recovered.
* Significance: #Operation_Black_Forest is considered the largest and most comprehensive anti-Naxal operation to date. Security forces claim it has dealt a significant blow to the Naxalites in the region by dismantling their key infrastructure and neutralizing a substantial number of their cadres. The operation is seen as a major step towards making Chhattisgarh Naxal-free and achieving the government's deadline to eradicate Left Wing Extremism.
* Challenges: Security forces operated in extremely challenging conditions, including high temperatures (up to 45 degrees Celsius), difficult terrain with steep hills and dense forests, and the presence of wild animals. They also encountered IEDs, some of which were ingeniously #booby-trapped. 18 security personnel were reportedly injured due to IED explosions.
The success of Operation Black Forest has been lauded by Home Minister #Amit_Shah and Prime Minister #Narendra_Modi. The Indian flag was hoisted on the cleared hills, symbolizing a significant achievement for the security forces.
