Security forces have been on high alert following an increase in IED attacks. Recent intelligence suggests that Maoists are relying more on explosives due to a decline in arms and ammunition. The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and specialised units like the CoBRA commandos have been intensifying their operations, uncovering Maoist hideouts and seizing weapons and explosives.
