A Naxal operation targeting a NALCO (a major aluminum producer) yielded 9 tons of mining explosives. These explosives will make their way along illicit supply chains, generate revenue for the organization, and be used to conduct small scale operations all over the eastern half of the country.
The attack has also temporarily shut down production at the mine, which is responsible for a large part of extracting the 2.92 billion tons of bauxite (10 % of the world’s supply) that lay under Indian soil.
