NEW DELHI: Two men were allegedly killed by Naxals in Sukma village, Chhattisgarh, on suspicion of being police informers, according to the police. The victims, Sodi Hunga and Madvi Nanda, were residents of Dulled village.
The Palmed Area Committee of Naxalites has claimed responsibility for the murders. The deputy chief minister and home minister of Chhattisgarh Vijay Sharma recently visited Silger village, located on the Sukma-Bijapur border in Sukma district, which is one of the most severely affected areas by Naxalism in the state.
This visit followed a recent Naxal attack near Silger village on January 30, which resulted in the deaths of three individuals and left 14 others injured. Sharma interacted with soldiers and local villagers in Bastar’s Silger, showing concern for their well-being and gathering information about the prevailing situation.
He took the opportunity to inform the villagers about various government schemes aimed at promoting development and improving living standards in the region. “Silger is a village in far South Bastar, and it is evident that the entire village aspires for development. Our camp here symbolizes progress, and we have initiated schemes to facilitate growth,” stated the deputy CM.
Earlier this month, an encounter took place between Naxalites and security forces, including the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), District Reserve Guard (DRG), and Bastar fighters, in the hilly forest between Gondpalli, Parlagatta, and Badepalli.
During a search operation in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada following the exchange of fire, the body of a Naxal carrying a bounty of Rs 8 lakh on his head was discovered, according to officials.
