Indian forces claim killing 23 Maoists in Chhattisgarh
NEW DELHI: Indian paramilitary forces shot dead 23 Maoist rebels on Friday during a firefight, days after the home minister warned the insurgents to surrender or face “all-out” assault. More than 10,000 people have died in a decades-long movement waged by the Naxalite movement in India’s resource-rich tribal heartlands.
