Raipur: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday reviewed the situation after the encounter of security forces with naxals during a search operation on Friday. The Security forces have so far recovered 31 bodies of ultras from Dantewada area believed killed during the encounter.
Shah spoke to Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai late on Friday night. The operation by the security forces came just days ahead of Shah’s high-level meeting with Chief Ministers and Home Ministers of Maoist-affected states on October 7 in New Delhi.
The security forces have recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition from the spot. The Union Home Minister, notably, had vowed recently that Maoism would be completely eradicated from the country by March 31, 2026.
