Tensions escalated in Bhadrachalam as Maoists launched an attack on the CRPF camp in Charla Mandal. The insurgents used BGL launchers in the surprise assault on Wednesday night, leading to a brief but intense exchange of fire that lasted approximately 20 minutes. CRPF forces successfully repelled the attack.
The incident occurred just 24 hours after the Telangana DGP stated there was no Maoist presence in the state. In response, police have declared a high alert in the Bhadrachalam agency area. Authorities have yet to officially confirm any casualties from the attack. The incident has sparked significant discussion in state political circles.
