Apr 11 IN a major breakthrough in ongoing anti-Naxal operations, security forces in Narayanpur have uncovered and destroyed a concealed underground hideout used by Maoists in the Kakur area. The structure, located under the jurisdiction of Sonpur Police Station, was detected during an intensive search operation conducted near a security camp. Acting on sustained inputs and thorough area domination, personnel discovered the bunker hidden beneath the forest terrain. Officials said the underground facility was being used by Maoists for shelter, holding meetings, and carrying out routine activities.

 

Considering the potential security threat, the forces acted promptly and razed the hideout on the spot. The operation is seen as a significant step towards tightening the security grid in the region, which has long been affected by Left-wing extremism. Police authorities stated that continuous search and area domination exercises are being intensified to curb Maoist activities. Efforts are also underway to detect and recover improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other concealed materials, with a focus on ensuring civilian safety and maintaining stability in the area. Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to sustaining pressure on insurgent networks and restoring normalcy across affected regions.
