Based on the input provided by a surrendered naxal, a joint team ofChhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF), District Reserve Guard (DRG) and District Force unearthed two drums in the forest containing a pipe bomb, ten electric detonators and other materials, including huge quantity of firecrackers, he said. Firecrackers are used by naxals to distract security forces during encounters, the officials added.

Chhattisgarh will vote in three phases between April 11 and April 23. Voting for Rajnandgaon, Mahasamund and Kanker seats is scheduled to be held during the second phase on April 18.
