In a shocking turn of events, a deadly attack by Naxalites in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh, has resulted in the loss of 11 lives, including 10 brave District Reserve Guard (DRG) jawans. The devastating incident occurred when the person was returning from a successful anti-Naxalite operation in the Maoist-infested region. As the nation mourns this tragic loss, it raises concerns about the security and safety of our armed forces.
According to sources from Times Now, the attack was carried out using a 50kg Improvised Explosive Device (IED), resulting in a powerful blast that claimed the lives of the jawans and a driver. The Maoists strategically targeted the DRG vehicle, which had been under their surveillance for some time. Despite intelligence inputs warning of possible attacks, the convoy took the same route, highlighting a lapse in the planning process.
The DRG, specially formed to combat Naxalite activities in Chhattisgarh, comprises local recruits, particularly from the Bastar region, and has been actively involved in numerous successful anti-Naxalite operations. However, this devastating incident serves as a grim reminder of the risks and challenges faced by our security personnel in these conflict-ridden areas.
Local news channels captured the aftermath of the attack, revealing a scene of destruction. A massive crater had torn through the road, while bodies covered in plastic sheets and scattered vehicle parts added to the grim visuals. The gravity of this incident has prompted swift responses from both state and central authorities.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel expressed his condolences to the families of the fallen jawans and assured strict action against the perpetrators. In a tweet, he vowed that the Naxals responsible for this heinous act would not escape justice. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has also assured Baghel of the central government’s support, pledging assistance during this time of tragedy.
The nation stands united in grief as it grapples with the loss of these brave souls who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced in combating Naxalism and the need for enhanced security measures to protect our forces. The government’s response and the ongoing investigation into the attack will play a crucial role in determining the future course of action against Naxalite activities in the region.
Stay informed and updated on this tragic event and its aftermath as we honor the memory of the fallen personnel and seek justice for their sacrifice.
