Saranda has been a stronghold of Naxalite activities for a long time
Let me tell you that this area of Saranda has been a stronghold of Naxalite activities for a long time, but due to continuous campaigns by security forces for the last few years, Naxalite organizations are now being reduced. Now they are targeting security forces by laying hundreds of IEDs around the areas considered safe for their defense.
The administration says that the presence of Naxalites in the forests of Saranda is now in the final stages, but this danger is not completely averted. It has once again become clear from this incident that the security forces need to be more vigilant, because the Naxalites are still looking to attack. After the incident, the security forces have intensified the patrolling. The search operation has been intensified by surrounded by the area.
