2010 Dantewada attack
The 2010 Dantewada attack was a significant ambush perpetrated by Maoist insurgents against Indian security forces in the Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh, India, on April 6, 2010. This assault resulted in the deaths of 76 personnel from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), marking one of the deadliest single attacks on Indian paramilitary forces in the ongoing Naxalite insurgency. The attack took place when a contingent of CRPF soldiers was conducting a search operation in the thickly forested areas of the Bastar region, which is known for its Maoist activities. The incident underscored the challenges faced by Indian security forces in combating Maoist violence and reignited debates over the government's approach to addressing the underlying socio-economic issues contributing to the insurgency.
