The 2024 Abujhmarh clash was an encounter between Communist Party of India (Maoist) and Indian security forces in the Abujhmarh forest area in Chhattisgarh, India. It was the deadliest encounter for the rebels since the start of the insurgency.[4][5]
Anti-Naxal operations have greatly increased in 2024 especially in the Abujhmarh forest area of Chhattisgarh which have been considered a Maoist stronghold. The Maoists had a great setback due to the operations with more than 200 cadres killed in the year 2024.[6]
