According to the security forces, Sarjamburu has been the headquarters of the Maoists since 2017-18. Maoist rebels took shelter in the area, but as soon as the security forces were successful in moving toward them, the Maoist kept retreating.
Ultras were forced to retreat and fled from there. Now the security forces are also conducting operations in those areas where Maoist rebels have taken shelter. Three big Maoist rebels of the Central Committee are hiding in the area of Kolhan. These include prize awardee Maoist rebels including Misir Besra, Anal and Aseem Mandal with one crore prize each.
Security forces have been conducting continuous operations in the area since February 11. Successes were achieved and many times the jawans also came under the grip of landmines planted by Rebels.
