Arms and ammunition, along with other items, purportedly belonged to Naxals were recovered by security forces after separate encounters with the ultras in a forested patch of Kanker district, police said here on Saturday.
According to police a team of Special Task Force (STF) had started from Kanker on an anti-Naxal operation. On Thursday police had face-off with the armed Naxals in a forested patch near Chhindkhadak village and at Parredodo village.
“In both encounters police forces easily dominated Naxals who had to flee in the jungles,” a local police officer said.
After searching the encounter spots, pressure cooker bombs, electric wires, live rounds of 303 rifle, INSAS with live rounds, Naxals dress, Maoist literatures and other items of daily use were sized, police said.
