Twenty-two security personnel were killed in a gun battle with the Maoists in Chhattisgarh. Home Minister Amit Shah has warned of retaliation against the Maoists.

More than 2,000 soldiers belonging to various groups, including CRPF soldiers and special operations teams, were on joint patrol on Friday night in the southern Bastar area on the Maoist-dominated Sukma, Bijapur district border in Chhattisgarh.

Simultaneous action tests were conducted at 5 locations including Narasapuram and Minba. In this, the Maoists indiscriminately opened fire on security forces passing near the jonaguda forest in the Tarrem area. About 400 Maoists, led by Maoist commander Hitma, are said to have surrounded and attacked on all three sides.

Security forces immediately launched a counter-attack. Five security forces personnel were killed in the clash which lasted for 5 hours. Under the circumstances, the search revealed that several soldiers involved in the hunt had gone missing. Subsequently, additional troops were sent to the forest to expedite the search. In it, the bodies of successive security forces soldiers were found from the forest.

The bodies of 22 soldiers were recovered as of Sunday evening. Thirty-two people recovered with injuries and were admitted to hospitals. As well as the search for a missing player continued. Only the body of a female Maoist was recovered after reports emerged that the security forces had inflicted heavy casualties on the Maoists.

President Ramnath Govind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have said that the sacrifices of the security forces will be remembered.

Home Minister Amit Shah has posted on his Twitter page that action against enemies of peace and development will continue. Moreover, Amit Shah, who returned to Delhi after canceling his election campaign in Assam, has assured that the Maoists will be retaliated against in due course.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupathi Bagal has returned to Raipur after completing his election campaign in Assam. Home Minister Amit Shah contacted him on the phone and inquired about the field situation.

Further, CRPF Brigade Director Kuldeep Singh personally inspected the scene of the attack. In April 2017, 26 soldiers were killed in an attack by the Maoists in Sukma district.

Rescue work is on and efforts are being made to evacuate the workers trapped in the tunnels after the flash floods in the Rishiganga Valley due to the glacier bursting in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand.

According to officials, 7 bodies have been recovered so far while 170 people are missing.

ITBP spokesperson Vivek Kumar Pandey told news agency ANI, “We have stepped up the search operation for the second tunnel, there are reported about 30 people trapped. 300 ITBP jawans are busy clearing the tunnel so that people Can be evacuated. According to the local administration, 170 people are missing in this disaster. ”

The spokesman said that due to a lot of debris around the tunnels, rescue operations could be started only with the help of machines. He hoped that people could be evacuated safely from inside the tunnel.

Teams of ITBP, NDRF, and SDRAF are engaged in rescue work.

In this tragedy, the Tapovan hydro-electric power dam, also known as the Rishiganga Project, has been completely destroyed.

How did the Glacier accident happen?

Around ten o’clock on Sunday morning, water suddenly rose in some rivers in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand.

In fact, landslides occurred due to the breaking of a part of the Nanda Devi glacier, and the water level in the Dhauli Ganga, Rishi Ganga, and Alaknanda rivers rose, causing panic.

This damaged the two hydropower projects of NTPC – the Tapovan-Vishnugarh project and the Rishi Ganga project there.

The tunnels attached to these projects were flooded and workers were trapped there.

Many houses coming in the way of water were also washed away. There is a possibility of damage even in the low lying areas.

The administration immediately evacuated many villages and people were taken to safer areas.

Due to the rising water level, rescue work had to be stopped for some time last night.
