In a major anti-Naxal operation, the Gadchiroli Police busted a Maoist arms manufacturing and storage unit hidden inside the forest area of Pomke Binagunda and destroyed the recovered material on the spot. The operation was carried out based on confidential information provided by surrendered Maoists under “Operation Antim Prahar.”
According to police, Maoists had secretly buried weapons-making equipment and explosive-related material in the forest to target security forces during Naxal activities, election periods, and other operations. Acting on the inputs, joint teams of the Special Operation Squad, Pranhita unit, and Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) launched a search operation on May 21 under the guidance of Gadchiroli Superintendent of Police M. Ramesh.
During the search on May 22, police recovered a lathe machine, BGL pipes, 12-bore pipes, inverter, generator, batteries, grinding and drilling machines, jig saw machine, pressure pump, solar panels, and other Maoist-related equipment from the forest area. All seized material was later destroyed at the site under senior officers’ supervision.
The operation was conducted under the leadership of Additional SPs Karthik Madhira and Gokul Raj G., along with DySP Vishal Nagargoje. The SP praised the efforts of the police and BDDS personnel involved in the mission.
