A police post was opened yesterday (Thursday, 12 December) in Gadchiroli, a Naxal-affected area of Maharashtra, at a place where there was no road even after so many years of independence. police say that with the help of this post, the influence of Naxalites can be reduced in a very large area. Gadchiroli police SP Niloptal said, "We have opened a new post at Pengunda today, which was proposed by us to be opened soon after the assembly elections.

This post is the first post to be opened on the Dudhraj-Pengunda-Nelgunda-Kavad axis, which will facilitate interstate connectivity from Indravati to Bijapur in chhattisgarh via Bedre. This post is about 15 km from Bhamragarh and 7 km from our previous existing police station Dudhraj.
