Apr 25, 2025 | ⚔️ Red Alert in the Forests: India Unleashes Most Ambitious Offensive Yet

In the forested tri-junction of Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Maharashtra, India has launched its biggest-ever anti-Maoist operation, encircling the Maoist stronghold of Karregatta, Nadpalli, and Pujari Kanker with 10,000 elite commandos. Described by the security forces as a “decisive campaign”, the scale and intensity signal a dramatic escalation in India’s long fight against Left-Wing Extremism.

🔺 “Surrender or Perish” — The Ultimatum Echoes Across Hilltops

Maoist strongholds are now under siege. Forces from Telangana’s Greyhounds, Chhattisgarh’s DRG, and Maharashtra’s C-60 commandos have created an impenetrable perimeter. Top Maoist leaders like Hidma, Damodar, Deva, and Vikas are believed to be trapped along with hundreds of cadres. Surveillance drones hum above as helicopters drop reinforcements. Escape is no longer an option.

  • 3 Maoist women fighters killed—an early sign of intensifying battle
  • Forces airlifted by IAF, carrying week-long rations for protracted combat
  • Ground intel suggests Maoists are low on food and water

🩸 Notable Encounters in 2024

  • 163 Maoists neutralized in 10 major operations
  • Biggest hit: April 16 – 29 Maoists killed in Kanker

💥 2025 Tally So Far

  • 142 Maoists killed in just over 3 months
  • March 31: Female commander with ₹45 lakh bounty killed
  • Jan 20–21: 27 Maoists gunned down near Chhattisgarh-Odisha border
  • Feb 9: 31 Maoists killed in Bijapur — largest one-day toll of 2025

🧭 Nerve Centre on High Alert

The operation is being led and monitored by:

  • Chhattisgarh Home Minister Vijay Sharma
  • ADG Vivekanand Sinha
  • CRPF IG Rakesh Agarwal
  • Bastar IG Sundarraj P

Strategic coordination from the ground to Delhi indicates a new national resolve to dismantle Maoist infrastructure permanently.


🧠 Editorial Insight

This isn’t just another encounter—it marks a paradigm shift in India’s counterinsurgency doctrine. With Maoists running low on essentials and top leaders cornered, Operation Karregatta could potentially decapitate the armed wing of the insurgency in central India.
