Tribal Villagers Falling Prey To Maoist Explosives

The blast took place at a local resident's home, where the IED had been strategically placed by the Maoists, likely in response to increased movements of security personnel in the region.

According to the sources, the explosion resulted in severe injuries to one of the tribal women, who is reported to be in critical condition. The other woman sustained burns, but her condition is said to be stable.

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of tribal villagers in the Naxal-dominated regions. The police are actively investigating the matter, gathering information to understand the circumstances surrounding the placement of the IED.

The police have intensified their efforts to ensure security in the area and prevent any further such incidents. The event highlights the ongoing threat posed by Maoist activities and the need for continued vigilance and security measures in affected regions.

This incident also shows that due to this communist terror of Maoists, common tribal villagers are being killed and are forced to live in an environment of fear. Earlier recently, a child had also died in a similar incident, during this time also due to explosives planted by Maoists.
