Raipur, March 31 (Inditop.com) Chhattisgarh’s anti-Maoist drive has left at least 90 guerrillas and nine policemen dead since July last year, Director General of Police Vishwa Ranjan said Wednesday.
“The operation (Green Hunt) has been very successful, the Maoists are running from one forest to another to survive attacks by the forces. Till date we have killed at least 90 guerrillas,” Ranjan told Inditop.
“The operation is purely a state government offensive that was launched in July 2009 but people came to know about it only in September-October when the media reported it for the first time.
“The forces have penetrated deep into forests and are dominating areas that were earlier Maoist strongholds. We are dismantling the terror camps,” he said.
