New Security Camp Established in Chhattisgarh to Combat Maoist Insurgency

Bijapur, Chhattisgarh – December 28, 2025 – In a significant step towards curbing Maoist activities and fostering development in Chhattisgarh’s Naxalite-hit Bijapur district, security forces have established a new police camp. The “Surakhsa evam Jan Suvidha Camp” (Security and Public Utility Camp) was inaugurated on Friday in Dodimarka village, under the Farsegarh police station limits, serving as a forward operating base for the 7th battalion of the Chhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF).

“Despite challenging terrain, harsh weather conditions, a joint team of District Reserve Guard (DRG), CAF, and district police demonstrated exemplary courage and determination in establishing the camp,” said an official.

The strategically located camp is expected to significantly curb interstate movements and activities of Maoists along the Chhattisgarh-Maharashtra border, creating a safer environment for local communities. It will also pave the way for the construction of a vital road connecting Bhopalpatnam (Bijapur) to Gadchiroli (Maharashtra) via Farsegarh and Sendra, accelerating development in remote villages within the Indravati National Park area.

According to authorities, since 2024, 29 new security camps have been established in Bijapur district, leading to the surrender of 923 Maoists, the killing of 221 in encounters, and the arrest of 1,100. The establishment of these camps is part of the state government’s Niyad Nella Nar (your good village) scheme, aimed at providing essential facilities and security to villagers, including access to health, education, electricity, drinking water, PDS shops, mobile network connectivity, and improved roads and bridges.
