    • The operation has been intensified recently and will continue to expand across Chhattisgarh​.
  • Impact on Local Population: While the operation targets Maoist insurgents, there have been concerns about its impact on local Adivasi communities, with reports of non-Maoist Adivasis being affected during the operations​​.
