Gadchiroli Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) have recovered a cache of 14 firearms and explosive materials allegedly hidden by Maoists in a forest along the Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh border during a major anti-Naxal operation, officials said on Tuesday.

The successful operation was carried out in the jurisdiction of the newly established Bangadi Police Outpost, marking another significant breakthrough in the state's ongoing anti-Maoist campaign.
