In this context, a large-scale operation is underway against Naxals in the dense and difficult forests of the West Singhbhum district. However, in this challenging operation, security forces have to contend not only with Naxals but also with poisonous animals and natural disasters. The recent incident occurred in the Nurdha forest of Chaitasa, where a soldier died from a snakebite.
