2010 Dantewada bus bombing
The 2010 Dantewada bus bombing was a significant terrorist attack that occurred on April 6, 2010, in the Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh, India. Executed by Maoist insurgents known as Naxalites, the bombing targeted a bus transporting police personnel and civilians, resulting in the deaths of 10 individuals and injuring several others. This incident was part of the broader Naxalite conflict, which has plagued various parts of India, particularly in rural and tribal regions, as insurgents seek to challenge state authority and exploit socio-economic grievances. The attack underscored the persistent threat posed by extremist groups and sparked national concern regarding the security and stability of affected areas. The government subsequently intensified counter-insurgency operations in response.
