Operation Khazana: Security Forces Use Advanced Tech to Trace Maoist Arms and Cash Dumps
Security forces have launched 'Operation Khazana', under which weapons and cash hidden underground by Maoists are being recovered. Using ISRO's satellite and modern technology, the goal is to recover ammunition and cash worth more than Rs 200 crore.
The security agencies have launched a high-tech Operation Khazana to destroy the network of the Maoists after having crushed their resistance. The objective of this operation is to locate and recover weapons and money buried underground in dense forests.
Satellites of ISRO, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), and other advanced techniques will be employed in this mission. The officials believe that the Maoists must have buried more than Rs 200 crore worth of ammunition and money underground.
Within three months, the security forces recovered arms and money worth above ₹8 crore in this mission. The ISRO's RISAT-2B satellite will help the security forces monitor the dense forests of Bastar and identify suspicious digging, construction of new tracks, and changes in ground temperatures to locate the dumping grounds.
