Security Forces' Major Victory: Six Naxalites Killed in Chhattisgarh

Six Naxalites, including three women, were killed in an encounter with security forces in Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur district. The operation is hailed as the biggest against the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) company no. 6. This has instilled fear among Naxalites in the region, according to the police.

In a significant breakthrough, six Naxalites, including three women, were eliminated in an encounter with security forces in Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur district two days ago, police announced on Saturday.

Deemed the largest assault on the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) company no. 6, the operation has spurred an atmosphere of unease among Naxalite cadres in the east Bastar division, a known stronghold of the militants.

The clash occurred between Gobel and Thulthuli villages near Orcha police station. While initial reports cited seven casualties, the figure was later revised to six confirmed Naxalite deaths. Among the deceased were high-ranking members carrying a cumulative bounty of Rs 38 lakh.
