Six groups of Naxals are operating in Balaghat and Mandla districts
Around 100 Naxals from Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra have sneaked into Madhya Pradesh over the past few months to expand their base, prompting the State government to seek deployment of six companies of paramilitary forces in the rebel-hit areas, a police official said.
“These security forces are likely to be deployed soon in M.P.''s Balaghat and tribal-dominated Mandla districts, which the Naxals have entered,” he said.
"As per the information provided to us by our sources, around 100 rebels from Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra have entered Madhya Pradesh over the past few months to expand their base in the region," the official said.
