Chhattisgarh: More forces have reached the area and are looking for the Maoists
Two paramilitary soldiers were martyred in action after the truck in which they were travelling was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) planted by Maoists in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma. They were travelling in a truck and motorcycle as part of a road-opening patrol (ROP) when the IED attack happened.
The soldiers belonged to the Central Reserve Police Force‘s (CRPF) special anti-Maoist unit CoBRA, the police said.
The Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) had been patrolling from Silger camp under Jagargunda police station limits towards Tekalgudem.
The police said more forces have reached the area and are looking for the Maoists.
The crude explosives are often concealed by roadside plants in the thick jungles of Chhattisgarh, making timely detection difficult for patrols, they said.
