Dantewada is among the ten districts - Bastar, Bijapur, Kanker, Kondagaon, Narayanpur, Rajnandgaon and Sukma - of the state which is affected by Maoism.
Ten police personnel and their driver were killed in a blast carried out by Maoists in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district today. The area is located around 450 km from the state capital Raipur. The incident took place when a team of the state police's District Reserve Guard (DRG) was returning after an anti-Maoist operation.
A significant chunk of Chhattisgarh is under the Red Corridor - the influence zone of the Maoists. The corridor spans across ten states in two coal-rich, remote, forested hilly clusters in and around the Dandakaranya-Chhattisgarh-Odisha region and the tri-junction area of Jharkhand-Bihar and West Bengal.
