Narayanpur: Two personnel of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police were martyred during an approximately hour-long encounter against Maoists in Kariyameta area on Friday.
“The rebels looted an Avtomat Kalashnikova-47 assault rifle, a couple of bulletproof jackets and a handheld transceiver. A joint team of law-enforcement personnel had set out for road-opening along the Narayanpur-Barsur route when the outlaws staged an ambush. The ITBP’s Sudhakar Shinde and Gurmukh Singh were killed in action,” Inspector General (Bastar Range) P Sunder Raj said. (UNI)
