The Central Reserve Police Force’s (CRPF) CoBRA unit uncovered a Maoist-operated health camp in the dense forests of Chintalnar, situated on the Odisha-Chhattisgarh border.
Authorities confiscated advanced medical equipment, including an automated eye-testing device, hot water bags, and a substantial supply of pharmaceuticals. The presence of such sophisticated medical apparatus raises questions about the involvement of trained professionals. Investigations are ongoing to determine if any government technicians or staff have ties to the Maoists or supplied these devices.
The health camp appeared to provide medical services to local villagers, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, a notable development in the ongoing conflict with Maoist insurgents. This discovery highlights the complex dynamics at play in the region and the lengths to which Maoists go to win the support of local communities.
