In a major drive against illegal activities, the Gadchiroli Police conducted a special ‘Operation All Out’ and combing operation across Gadchiroli, Armori, and Chamorshi police station limits on Wednesday.
During the operation, 13 cases were registered against illegal liquor trade, and contraband worth Rs 5,00,700 was seized. As part of the combing operation, 139 history-sheeters and known criminals were checked.
The drive was conducted under the guidance of Superintendent of Police M Ramesh and led by Additional SP Aniket Hirde. Police teams from Gadchiroli, Armori, and Chamorshi stations carried out raids at various locations, including hotels, lodges, and secluded spots. As many as 300 vehicles were checked during nakabandi, and action was taken against 40 vehicles under the Motor Vehicles Act.
Speaking about the operation, Ramesh said, “The main objective of this campaign is to create fear of law among criminals and instil a sense of security among citizens.”
He added that such special operations will continue in the future to curb illegal businesses, criminal activities, and anti-social elements.
“The Gadchiroli Police is committed to taking strict action against illegal trades and criminal tendencies,” the SP stated.
The operation was carried out under the guidance of Ramesh, Additional SP (Operations) Kartik Madhira, and Additional SP (Administration) Gokul Raj G, with active participation of officers and staff from the three police stations.
Hidden Maoist weapon-making setup unearthed and destroyed in Gadchiroli forest
Last month, Gadchiroli Police destroyed a Maoist arms-manufacturing unit and seized equipment and materials allegedly hidden underground in a forest area of the district during a special anti-Naxal operation.
The operation was carried out based on confidential information received from surrendered Maoists during interrogation under Operation ‘Antim Prahar’.
According to the police, Maoists used to secretly bury weapons, explosives, and related materials in forest areas to target security personnel during various Naxal observances, election periods, and other operations. Officials said the hidden stockpile was intended for use in sabotage activities against security forces.
Police said Maoist influence in Gadchiroli district has significantly weakened and efforts are underway to trace and destroy materials concealed in forest areas.
Officials said the surrendered Maoists, who laid down arms before the Gadchiroli Police on May 16, revealed during questioning that weapons manufacturing equipment and other materials had been hidden in the forest area under the Pomke Binagunda limits.
Following the inputs, six joint teams of the Gadchiroli and Pranhita special operation squads along with two Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) teams were dispatched to the area on Thursday under the guidance of Superintendent of Police M Ramesh.
