Anti-Maoist operations continue in Chhattisgarh under the guidance of the Union Home and Cooperation Minister. An operation conducted by the Chhattisgarh Police between May 18 and May 21, 2025, in the Abujhmad region, which included DRG forces from various districts, led to an encounter on May 21, 2025, in the forests of Boter village. This resulted in the death of 27 Naxals, including CPI (Maoist) General Secretary Basavaraju alias Gaganna, and the recovery of a significant quantity of weapons and ammunition.
Several police officials were honored, including the Director General of Police, for their contributions to the operations. Senior officials from the Union Home Ministry and the Intelligence Bureau were present at the event.
