Chhattisgarh: The Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Arun Sao on Monday strongly condemned the IED attack by Naxals on District Reserve Guard (DRG) personals in Bijapur district Chhattisgarh where eight jawans and driver lost their lives
Speaking with the reporters Sao said that their sacrifice won’t go into vain. He described the attack as a “cowardly action” driven by Naxals’ “desperation and disappointment.”
He also said that information about a cowardly attack by Naxalites has come from Bijapur. I express condolences to the jawans’ families. This is a cowardly action. As jawans are working towards eliminating Naxals, they have done this out of desperation and disappointment.
Nine people, including eight Dantewada District Reserve Guard (DRG) jawans and one driver, lost their lives after their vehicle was blown up by an IED planted by Naxals in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district.
According to Bastar Inspector General (IG) Sundarraj P, the jawans were returning from a joint operation of Dantewada, Narayanpur and Bijapur police when the blast occurred.
“For the last three days, anti-Naxalite operations have been ongoing in the Narayanpur, Dantewada, and Bijapur regions. During this operation, we had recovered the bodies of five Naxals, and one jawan had lost his life. When the team was returning, in Bijapur’s Ambeli area, an IED blast was carried out by Naxals. Eight Dantewada DRG jawans and one driver lost their lives in the attack,” IG Sundarraj said.
