Red terror attack, CRPF calls for emergency meeting
- 5 years ago
As many as 13 CRPF men were killed and 14 others were injured when they were ambushed by Maoist rebels in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district on Monday.
Two officers of the paramilitary unit were among those killed. Maoists have operated for decades across a wide swathe of central and eastern India, and grew in strength during recent times in areas where poor, tribal villagers came into conflict with mining companies seeking resources for industrialisation.
The Maoists seek the violent overthrow of the Indian state, accusing it initially of taking over land from poor peasants and now plundering the mineral wealth of states likes Chhattisgarh. In April this year, the rebels set off two bombs in Chhattisgarh and killed 13 people, most of them paramilitary soldiers and officials charged with holding Lok Sabha elections in the state.
