The Director General (DG), accompanied by his top commanders, made an on-spot assessment of the incident and the positioning of CRPF camps in the nearby areas during the visit.
There are two camps of the force, with about 100 men each, close to this ambush area which lies between Sukma and Jagdalpur in Bastar, the southern tip of the state.
