2013 Naxal attack in Darbha valley

The 2013 Naxal attack in Darbha Valley, occurring on May 25, was a significant instance of armed violence in India, attributed to the Communist Party of India (Maoist). This coordinated ambush took place in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, targeting a convoy of politicians, including prominent Congress party leaders returning from a campaign rally. The attack resulted in the deaths of over 25 individuals, including senior Congress leader Mahendra Karma and several other party workers. The incident underscored the ongoing conflict between Maoist insurgents and state security forces, highlighting issues of governance, socio-economic disparities, and the persistent Maoist insurgency in central and eastern India. The attack sparked national outrage and renewed discussions on the need for enhanced security measures and developmental initiatives in affected regions.
