The Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) is conducting rigorous
combing operations in the forest areas of Palligadde near Kulkunda.
Last Sunday, around 5 naxals were spotted near some
houses at 6:00 pm. There were skirmishes between the naxals and the ANF with
the exchange of couple of grenades on both the sides.
Five teams of 15 members each have formed for the
search operations. The ANF encountered three naxals during Monday’s operations
and exchanged about 60 rounds of fire. However, there were no reports of death
or injuries.
Deputy Commander of ANF, Mr. Vasudev Murthy led the
combing operations. The ANF carried weapons line AK-47 and SLRs during the
operation.
It is reported that the ultras stayed in tents within
the forest. About eight members occupied the tent.
