| Launching a two-pronged offensive deep into Maoist-held areas, security forces moved from Kadasole in the north and from Lalgarh in the south where naxalites detonated three landmines and engaged in a fire fight with troops.
Besides detonating the landmines, the Maoists fired at the security forces as the offensive resumed on Saturday morning with a march from Kadasole, secured yesterday, to Mohultol a forested area, a senior CRPF officer told a PTI correspondent accompanying the forces.
The 1000-strong security forces comprising the CRPF, India Reserve battalion and the Rapid Action Force retaliated with mortars, LMGs and AK-47s overcoming the Maoists at Mohultol, the officer said.
Simultaneously from Lalgarh in the south, which was taken over by the security forces from Maoists on June 20 after an eight-month siege, around 1100 security forces marched towards Ramgarh and advanced to Amdanga, the officer said.
