Raipur: In a significant breakthrough in the ongoing anti-Naxal operations, the Cobra 208 Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) uncovered a massive cache of explosives and daily-use materials hidden by Maoists in the dense forests of the FOB Kauragutta area, under the jurisdiction of Police Station Pamed in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district.
The operation, part of a routine patrol and search mission, led security forces to a concealed pit in the forest near the village of Kanchal.
Upon excavation, they discovered a large stockpile of materials believed to be part of a major Maoist conspiracy. Officials stated that the timely and vigilant action of the Cobra unit thwarted what could have been a devastating attack.
Recovered items included high-grade explosives such as RDX,
