Ongoing Search and Anti-Naxal Efforts

The identities of the slain Maoists are yet to be confirmed. The encounter follows another exchange of fire in Odisha-Chhattisgarh border areas, where one Maoist was killed. Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai recently met Union Home Minister Amit Shah, highlighting progress in fighting Naxalism and aiming for a Naxal-free state by 2026.
