According to sources, more than 400 policemen and security forces have entered the forest. The police are also conducting a detailed investigation of the pedestrians and small vehicles on the suspected Ghaghra and Netarhat main road, so that the Naxalites cannot enter the Naxalite area under any circumstances. Even when the pressure of the police increases, the Naxalites leave the Bulbul forest and enter either Gumla or the old mountain of Latehar. That is why this time the police is engaged in encircling the Naxalites in the Bulbul forest itself.
