After Biggest Op Against Maoists, Tricolour at ‘Red Terror’ Hill: Amit

New Delhi,  : The killing of 31 Maoists at Karregutta Hill on the Chhattisgarh Telangana border this week – the result of ‘India’s largest anti-Maoist operation’, which sources said also recovered 450 IEDs and 40 weapons – has been hailed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah as an “historic” achievement. Source said a large quantity of ammunition, detonators, and explosive devices, besides 12,000kg of other materials, such as medicine and electric equipment was also seized. And, in addition, four factories
producing weapons, motors, and cutters were found. On Wednesday, Mr Shah said,
“The hill, once ruled by red terror, now proudly waves the tricolour”, and underlined the
government’s resolve to “eradicate Maoism” by March 2026. Karregutta Hill, he declared, was once the ‘unified headquarters’ of major Maoist groups, and where battle strategies were drawn up, weapons developed, and fighters trained. “This largest operation was completed by our security forces in just 21 days… and I am immensely
delighted there was not a single casualty among forces in this operation.” The Central Reserve Police Force and from Chhattisgarh Police’s Special Task Force and District
Reserve Guard took part in this operation, and were congratulated by Mr Shah, for having “faced the Maoists with courage and valour… The nation is proud of you.” CRPF chief General GP Singh said the 31 killed had a combined Rs 1.72 crore bounty, and their deaths and the re-capture of Karregutta is ‘the beginning of the end’ for Maoism. Twenty-eight of the bodies have been identified so far, he told reporters. Union Home
Minister Amit Shah, on Tuesday, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government has brought political stability to the country, and the people have witnessed the implementation of policies.
