Two Naxalites Killed in Encounter With Security Forces In Chattisgarh

Two Naxalites were gunned down in an encounter with the security forces in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district on Saturday, police said.

The gunfight broke out in the morning hours in the forested hills of the district's northwest region, where a



joint team of security forces was out on an anti-Naxalite operation based on inputs about the presence of Maoist cadres in the area, a senior official said. 

"So far, bodies of two Naxalites and weapons have been recovered from the spot," he said.
