Saranda Forest Maoist Operation: Arms Cache Recovered, Key Cadre Neutralized
Security forces in West Singhbhum's Saranda forest neutralized a Maoist cadre, Israel Murmu, carrying a Rs 1 lakh bounty, during a multi-day operation. The crackdown also yielded a significant haul of arms, ammunition, and explosives, including an SLR, carbine, and IEDs. Police believe this success is pushing the Maoist group towards collapse.
