Collector's abduction: Govt halts anti-Maoist operations in Bastar
Forces have suspended anti-Maoist operations in the south Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, where about 500 Maoists are said to be holding abducted Sukma Collector Alex Paul Menon hostage. Sources said security forces now know the exact location of the Collector and operations have been called off temporarily to avoid any confrontation with the Maoists.
