Chhattisgarh: Naxal killed in encounter with police in Sukma

More than 20 Naxals were killed in an&nbsp;<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/2-killed-6-injured-in-naxal-attack-in-chattisgarh-33271" target="_blank">encounter that took place on Sunday </a>in Chattisgarh&#39;s Sukma district.&nbsp;

While addressing a media, Special Director General of anti-Naxal operations DM&nbsp;Awasthi said, &quot;For more than 5 hours, our forces endured heavy firing from Naxals in which two of our soldiers died. We also gave a befitting reply to their attack. More than 20 Naxals were killed in the firing&quot;.

Heavy shellings between the troops of a 202nd battalion of the Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) and Naxals&nbsp;started at around 11 am and continued for over 5 hours&nbsp;in Sukma&#39;s Bheji on Sunday.

Two security personnel and a civilian were killed&nbsp;while six others were injured in the encounter.&nbsp;

Earlier&nbsp;<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/intelligence-agencies-warn-of-big-naxal-attack-in-chhattisgarh-33153" target="_blank">reports had indicated about a warning from Intelligence agencies&nbsp;</a>for a big Naxal attack on security forces in Chhattisgarh&#39;s South Bastar region.

The Naxal insurgency, considered India&#39;s most serious internal security threat, has claimed around 10,000 lives since it started in the 1960s.

Chhattisgarh is part of the so-called &quot;red corridor&quot; that passes through resource-rich areas of central, southern, western and eastern India and is mostly inhabited by underprivileged tribes.

Naxalites, who say they are fighting for the rights of marginalised tribal groups, operate from jungle bases but often descend on villages to demand protection money and recruit young men and women to their ranks.
