According to sources citing officials, the exchange of fire took place today morning in dense areas around six kilometres west of Kandulnar in Indravati National Park forest, under Modakpal police station limits.
The Maoists opened fire on security personnel when a team of forces was out on an anti-Naxal operation based on inputs about the presence of senior Maoist cadres, news agency PTI reported.
