By A Staff Reporter

In a significant breakthrough, five Naxalites were arrested in Ghumla, Jharkhand, as part of ongoing anti-Naxal operations in the region. Anoop Birtharay, DIG of the South Chhotanagpur range, provided details during a media briefing, stating, "As per the instruction of the Jharkhand government and under the leadership of the DGP, anti-Naxal operations are continuously going on in Jharkhand. We had a major success in Ghumla, where five Naxalites were arrested."

The DIG further highlighted the recovery of several weapons during the operation, marking a critical development in the fight against Naxalism in the state. "We have also recovered many weapons," he added, without specifying the exact nature of the arms.

The ongoing efforts by the Jharkhand police, under the direction of the state government and the Director General of Police (DGP), are part of a larger strategy to combat Naxal influence and restore peace and security in the region. The success in Ghumla reflects the effectiveness of these operations and bolsters confidence in the law enforcement agencies working on the ground.

The arrests mark a major victory for the security forces, as Naxal activities in the area have posed significant challenges to local governance and public safety. This operation is expected to weaken the network of Naxal elements and serve as a deterrent for future activities. Further investigations and efforts to dismantle remaining Naxal networks in Jharkhand are expected to continue.
