DRG jawan injured in IED blast during anti-Naxalite operation in Chhattisgarh

An Improvised Explosive Device (IED) detonated during a Wednesday confrontation with Naxals in the Bijapur area of Chhattisgarh, injuring one jawan.

Ajay Mandawi, a District Reserve Group (DRG) Dantewada jawan, was injured only little after being struck by a pressure IED while coming from a Naxalite camp.

Together with his team of combined security professionals, he had started an anti-Naxalite operation. He was taken for medical assistance to the Bijapur District Hospital. The search effort found discovered pharmaceutical and food supplies that belonged to the naxals.

Earlier on Monday, a joint team of Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA), Special Task Force (STF), DRG Dantewada and DRG Bijapur had set out for an anti-Naxalite operation towards Pediya that falls under the jurisdiction of Gangaloor police station.

In Pediya on Tuesday, the security forces came into conflict with armed Naxalites at several locations, and during that conflict, they demolished a Naxalite camp and a Naxalite memorial site. The Naxalite camp yielded several items for daily usage, explosives, a few items for tailoring, and medications.

Evidence found at the scene of the incident suggests that the operation may have resulted in the injuries or death of two to three Naxalites during the confrontation.
The DRG jawan was hurt on Wednesday while returning from the Naxalite camp after being struck by a pressure IED.
