Raipur: In a major breakthrough against Maoists, security forces in Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur district successfully foiled a Maoists plot to target personnel with deadly improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

Acting on precise intelligence inputs, a joint team of the District Police and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) 53rd Battalion recovered and safely defused three Command Cooker IEDs, each weighing approximately 5 kg.

The explosives were strategically planted between Kodliyar Bichpara and Neecheppara villages under Kohkameta police station jurisdiction — a region known for sporadic Maoists activity.

Officials confirmed that the devices were intended to inflict maximum damage on patrolling security forces.
