Bandh called by CPI (Maoist) today
Security has been tightened in the Agency mandals abutting Chhattisgarh as the police intensified area domination and vehicle checking operations in the border areas in view of the bandh called by the CPI (Maoist) on October 27 in protest against Monday’s ‘encounter’ in Tekulagudem forest area, in which three Maoists were killed.
The death of three key members, well trained in guerilla warfare, of the CPI (Maoist)’s Central Regional Company (CRC), on Monday’s ‘encounter’ in the forest area straddling the Chhattisgarh’s Tekulagudem in Bijapur district and Telangana’s Peruru in Mulugu district dealt a severe blow to the outlawed outfit in the Dandakaranya forests.
Four weapons, including one Light Machine Gun, one Self-Loading Rifle, an AK 47 rifle and a firearm, were recovered at the ‘encounter’ site, police said.
