Tragically, DRG head constable Sannu Karam lost his life in the gunfight. The operation was part of a broader effort to dismantle Naxal strongholds in the region.
Abujhmad, a densely forested area bordering Narayanpur and Dantewada districts, has long been a Naxal haven due to its challenging terrain and unsurveyed land. However, security forces have made significant gains in the region, eliminating nearly 100 Naxals in 2024, including 31 in a single operation in October.
The latest operation marks a continued effort to disrupt Naxal operations in the region.
