On February 9, 31 Naxalites were killed in a clash with security forces in the forested National Park area of Bijapur, Chhattisgarh. During the operation, the security forces also found weapons and explosives. Sadly, two security personnel lost their lives—one from the District Reserve Guard and another from the Special Task Force. Two other jawans were injured in the encounter. The identification of the killed Naxalites is still in progress. A search operation is currently ongoing in the area to ensure safety and gather more information.

In a recent encounter in the forests of Abujhmad, Chhattisgarh`s Narayanpur district, security forces engaged with Naxalites over the past two days, resulting in the deaths of at least eight Naxalites. According to IG Bastar P Sundarraj, eight bodies of Naxalites were recovered, while three security personnel sustained injuries. Tragically, one security personnel lost his life, and the remaining two injured were airlifted to Raipur for treatment, with reports indicating they are now stable. The operation highlights ongoing tensions in the region, where security forces continue to confront Naxalite insurgents in efforts to maintain peace and order.
