In a major breakthrough, the joint operation team of Border Security Force (BSF) and STF Chhattisgarh Police neutralized four Naxalites in Kanker district of Chhattisgarh on Sunday.

In addition to that, three more .315 bore rifles have been recovered from the operations site.

Acting on a specific information of presence of action group of Naxalites in the general area of Katgaon and Kametha, a special Operation team comprising of 10 teams of BSF and 2 teams of STF Chhattisgarh, executed the search and destroy operations to the marked area.
