Explosive cache of Maoists seized in Maharashtra, big success for Gadchiroli Police!

The police has achieved great success in strengthening the security system in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra which is affected by Maoism. Gadchiroli Police, by conducting a special search operation, has recovered a large quantity of explosive material and other Maoist items hidden underground in the forest.

According to police officials, the influence of Maoism has almost ended in the district and now the main objective of the police is to establish a completely safe environment in the area. In the past, Maoists used various types of weapons and explosive materials to target security forces and carry out ambush attacks.

These materials were prepared and secretly buried in the ground in the inaccessible forests of the inter-state border, so that attacks could be carried out on security forces during Naxal week, elections and other occasions.

Police had received information that Maoists had hidden a large quantity of explosive material in the Tavve forest of Poste Gyarapatti area. On the basis of confidential information, on 4 November 2026, under the guidance of Superintendent of Police M. Ramesh, teams of Special Operation Team and Bomb Disposal Squad (BDDS) were sent for search operation.

During the operation, Special Operations Team and BDDS teams conducted a thorough search of the forest area. During the search, material hidden underground was recovered, which included several equipment used in preparing explosives and in attacks.

Police have recovered 11 cookers, three bundles of 100 feet long cortex wire, three kilograms of gun powder, four detonators, one 12 watt battery, 250 grams of firecracker gunpowder, four steel containers, eight wire bundles, one solar plate and other Maoist material from the spot.

Police believe that this material could have been used to target security forces in future. A possible big conspiracy has been foiled by timely action.

This action was carried out under the instructions and guidance of Superintendent of Police M. Ramesh and under the supervision of Additional Superintendent of Police (Operations) Karthik Madhira, Additional Superintendent of Police Gokul Raj, Additional Superintendent of Police Aheri (Pranahita) Harshvardhan BJ and Deputy Superintendent of Police (Operations) Sunil Uike.

The operation was successfully carried out jointly by the Special Operations Team, Pranahita Unit, Intelligence Cell and BDDS team personnel. On this important success, Superintendent of Police M Ramesh has praised all the officers and soldiers involved in the operation.
