were also used in recent attacks on security personnel camp in Narayanpur and Kondagaon districts of Bastar division.
Initial inputs suggest that military platoon no 2 and 4 of maoists were involved in yesterday's attack, the official said, adding that more details will be known after investigation.
It was the biggest attack on security forces in last one-and-a-half year in the state.
Notably, Injram-Bhejji patch is part of the strategically important road being built from Dornapal to inaccessible Jagargunda (58 kms long).
Bhejji is located around 15 kms away from Injram, which is situated on Sukma-Konta road -- a patch on NH 30 that connects Jagdalpur (district headquarter of Bastar) to Vijaywada in Andhra Pradesh.
Five Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camps have been set up between Injram-Bhejji, besides a police station in Bhejji which was constructed long back.
The newly-appointed Inspector General of Police (incharge) Bastar Range Sundarraj P had last month visited Jagargunda and assured the people that the construction of this road (Dornapal-Jagargunda) will be completed soon.
The rebels are opposed to such road projects, especially this one, fearing that it would facilitate the movement of forces in the pockets that they claimed to be their "liberated zone."
Through such attacks they want to thwart development works, he said.
Security personnel have been put on alert fearing maoist offensive activities in view of annual 'tactical counter offensive campaign' (TCOC) being observed by rebels from March-June.
"The summer season proves to be a favourable period for carrying out maoist attacks as the grass and bushes dry up providing a clear view of force movement in the vast jungle terrain," the official added.
