Explosives hidden by Naxals in a forest in Gadchiroli in Maharashtra were recovered by security forces following an encounter, a senior official said on Monday.
The skirmish took place on Sunday in Madveli forest at around 12:30 pm after Naxals fired on a team of Gadchiroli police's special squad and then fled when faced with retaliatory action, he said.
