Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 63007, member: 636"] Security forces from the CRPF Cobra 208 Battalion discovered a large weapons stockpile during forest patrols near Kanchal village in Bijapur district. The hidden cache contained RDX, detonators, grenades and materials for building improvised devices that officials say were meant for attacks on infrastructure or military targets. Troops also found combat uniforms, batteries, solar equipment and metal supplies suggesting Maoists planned significant operations in the area. The seizure occurred under Operation Sankalp, a campaign launched in April to eliminate insurgent networks across Chhattisgarh by March 2026. Authorities credited the battalion for preventing potential violence through swift action in the Bastar region. The recovery follows recent successes against senior Maoist leaders and represents continued pressure on armed groups operating in dense forest zones under Police Station Pamed jurisdiction. [/QUOTE]
