Eight personnel of the Central Police Reserve Force have died after Maoists blew up a mine protection vehicle or MPV, in Sukma district of Chhattisgarh.

Two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were today injured in an IED blast triggered by Naxals at a forest in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit Sukma district, police said.

The CRPF will soon deploy a fresh squad of about 2,000 commandos from its special guerrilla warfare CoBRA battalions in and around the Sukma district of Chhattisgarh to defang the Maoists and their arsenal.

The brazen Maoist ambush, which left 25 CRPF personnel dead and seven wounded, was likely planned by a wanted naxalite commander who was camping in a village barely 7-8 km from the scene of the attack, a senior police officer said today.

A CRPF jawan who survived the Maoist massacre yesterday in Chhattisgarh's Sukma said there was sudden firing "from all sides" and soldiers barely had time to shield civilian workers from the line of fire.

After a crowd of at least 300 Naxals closed in on paramilitary commandos, ambushing them in the thick forest of Chhattisgarh's Sukma district, the Air Force swooped in to help, with its helicopters landing in the heart of a Maoist stronghold, despite concerns of the insurgents opening fire. The unarmed transport helicopters helped evacuate the sold...

Every morning, they assemble at the grounds of their camp before heading out into the inhospitable terrain of thick jungles, saddled with heavy equipment and uncertain of returning safely. To them, small things, like a good meal or simple entertainment are luxuries. This is life for the jawans of various security agencies involved in anti-Naxal ope...
