In a significant battle in Chhattisgarh, 27 Naxalites were slain.

Security forces killed 27 Naxalites in a major gunfight in Abhujmad, Chhattisgarh, at the tri-junction of Narayanpur, Bijapur, and Dantewada districts. One District Reserve Guard (DRG) member was killed, and several personnel sustained injuries but are stable.
Sources suggest that Nambala Keshava Rao (Basavaraju), CPI (Maoist) general secretary, was among the dead, though official confirmation is awaited. The operation, involving DRG teams from four districts, was based on specific intelligence regarding Maoist leadership presence.
This marks one of the most significant anti-Naxal actions in recent years, bringing the total Naxal casualties in Chhattisgarh this year to 200, including 183 in Bastar. Search operations in the dense forest are ongoing.

A webpage supported by the DGFI in Bangladesh suggests “encircling India’s northeast.”

A recent analysis on bdmilitary.com, reportedly backed by Bangladesh’s Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), suggests that establishing a Rohingya Safe Zone could serve as a strategic advantage for Bangladesh, allowing it to exert influence over India’s northeastern states. The report frames Myanmar’s Rakhine State and India’s Siliguri Corridor as critical access points that could enable Dhaka to apply geopolitical pressure, disrupting transit routes and military mobility. The analysis also highlights potential support from China’s Belt and Road Initiative and U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy, while acknowledging domestic political opposition. It further proposes securing UN mandates and investing in border security enhancements to legitimize and operationalize the plan.

Committee in Meghalaya urges suspension of Indo-Bangladesh border fence inspection

The Coordination Committee on International Border (CCIB) of Meghalaya has urged authorities to postpone the proposed joint inspection of the India-Bangladesh border fencing project in West Jaintia Hills, citing ongoing legal proceedings in the Meghalaya High Court. While the CCIB and affected landowners do not oppose the fencing, they demand safeguards to prevent land loss for local residents. They argue that proceeding with the inspection before a court ruling could lead to unnecessary complications. The Meghalaya High Court has previously directed the state government to prioritize fencing work, but local concerns about indigenous land rights remain at the forefront of discussions.
