After gap of 9 months, Naxal drones seen in Gadchiroli again
Naxal drones have resurfaced in Gadchiroli after a gap of over nine months.
After spotting them in Gatta area of Etapalli tahsil in September and over Jimalgatta, Repanpalli and Jhinganur villages in October last year, drones were seen hovering close to Halewara, Damrancha and Venkatapur in south Gadchiroli about three weeks ago.
Gadchiroli Superintendent of Police Ankit Goyal confirmed the sighting of drones. “The drones were probably launched from a nearby hillock so that we may not be able to spot them,” he said.
Drones were also sighted near Pipariya police post in Gondia district, according to Deputy Inspector General of Police, Gadchiroli range, Sandip Patil.
