Anti-insurgency ops to ‘flush out’ Naxal leadership from Karegutta hills on Chhattisgarh-Telangana border called off​

A massive anti-insurgency operation involving 28,000 troops — including the Indian Air Force (IAF) – in Karegutta hills on the Chhattisgarh-Telangana border to help smoke out the top leadership of outlawed Communist Party of India (Maoist) has been called off 20 days after it first started.

Although officials have confirmed the operations have been called off, there is no official word yet on why this has happened.

However, the Central Reserve Police Force and the state police are scheduled to address the media Tuesday morning.

According to officials, one of the major goals of the operation is to decimate the armed wing, to which six major attacks in Sukma and Bijapur – including the attack in January last year when three jawans were shot dead in Tekalguda, Sukma — are attributed.

31 Maoists killed in 21-day anti-Naxal operations at Karregutta hills; Amit Shah hails ‘historic breakthrough’​

Describing the operation as the largest and most significant of its kind, Shah lauded the efforts of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Special Task Force (STF), and District Reserve Guard (DRG) personnel, who successfully completed the mission in just 21 days without sustaining any casualties.

Kurraguttalu Hill has long been a critical stronghold for Naxal groups, serving as the unified headquarters for major organisations such as the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) Battalion 1, DKSZC, TSC, and CRC. The hill was not only a base for training but also a centre for planning strategies and manufacturing weapons. Shah emphasised the symbolic importance of the operation, stating, “The hill on which the red terror once reigned, today the tricolour is flying proudly.”

The operation, named ‘Operation Black Forest,’ spanned an extensive area of approximately 1,200 square kilometres. CRPF Director General Gyanendra Pratap Singh confirmed the recovery of 31 bodies, with 28 of the deceased Naxalites identified. He added that the operation involved coordinated efforts from the Cobra unit, CRPF, and Chhattisgarh police, and intelligence suggests that even more Naxalites may have been neutralised during the campaign.
