Big Find In Chhattisgarh Op: Maoists Printing Fake Notes, Using In Markets

While this indicates that extensive security operations in the region have crippled the Maoists' cash flow, use and circulation of such fake currency in local markets may create a massive problem.

An anti-Maoist operation in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district has led to a striking discovery that may have severe implications for the local economy. For the first time, security forces have found in Maoist camps equipment used to print fake currency.

While this indicates that extensive security operations in the region have crippled the rebels' cash flow, use and circulation of such fake currency in local markets may create a massive problem.

The startling find was made during a joint search operation by Sukma Police, District Reserve Guard and the CRPF in the forests of Korajguda yesterday.
