" NEW DELHI Authentic Devin Funchess Jersey , April 25 (Xinhua) -- India Tuesday bid adieu to the 25 security forces personnel who were killed in a deadly ambush by Naxalite, or Naxal rebels, in the central state of Chhattisgarh's Sukma district Monday.
Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh laid wreaths on the coffins of the soldiers of the paramilitary Central Reserve Security Force (CRPF) and a 21-gun salute was given to the deceased, before the final rites were carried out.
The 25 soldiers died in a fierce gunfight with some 300 armed Naxalite rebels who had laid the ambush on them near Kala Pathar, close to Burkapal-Chintagufa area in the state's Sukma district.
Initially 24 CRPF troopers died on the spot Authentic Shaq Thompson Jersey , while another one succumbed to his injuries while being airlifted to a hospital, along with six other injured. The CRPF personnel were guarding a group of construction workers building a road in the area when the ambush took place.
After the encounter, the Naxalites looted all the arms and ammunition of the security forces, who belonged to the 74th battalion of CRPF.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has described the deadly Naxalite attack as ""cowardly"" and ""deplorable"". ""We are proud of the valour of our @crpfindia personnel. The sacrifice of the martyrs will not go in vain. Condolences to their families,"" he tweeted.
Sukma is part of the Naxalite stronghold in Chhattisgarh and this is not the first of such attacks in Sukma district.
Some 12 personnel of the CRPF were killed in the same district last month in another deadly Naxal ambush. That incident was reported in the dense forests near Kottacheru village Authentic James Bradberry Jersey , around 450 km away from the state capital of Raipur. It was one of the deadliest attacks on security forces.
After that deadly attack, Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh has said it was a sign of ""frustration"" of the Naxalites because of the ""unprecedented success"" of the security operations against them.
""Last year, 135 extremists were killed, 700 were arrested, 1 Authentic Taylor Moton Jersey ,198 surrendered, and there was a 15 percent drop in the number of Naxalite attacks,"" the minister told the parliament.
Initially, the Naxalite movement had its center in the eastern state of West Bengal. Subsequently, it spread into less-developed areas of rural southern and eastern India Authentic Greg Olsen Jersey , such as Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
The Naxalites claimed that they are fighting for greater rights for tribal people and the rural poor.
Today, the Naxalites are active in more than one-third of India's 600-plus administrative districts. They routinely target Indian security forces. In 2010, they killed 74 policemen in the Dantewada district in Chhattisgarh in one of the most deadly attacks.

The one day tournament will be played on Saturday July 25th in the Rwandan capital.
Speaking to Xinhua ahead of the team's departure, coach Seabe Gabatladiwe said his team is oozing with confidence being the top ranked team for the tournament.
Botswana ranks top of the five other countries at the tournament including the host Rwanda, Burundi Authentic Luke Kuechly Jersey , Mauritius, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia. Botswana is in Pool A alongside Zambia and Burundi.
Gabatladiwe said they prepared very well for the tournament and look ahead to Saturday with very high expectations.
He said they had previously played some of the teams at the tournament and know what to expect in terms of play.
""We had played against most of the teams before so we know what they are capable of,"" he said. He however noted that they are not expecting to have it any easy as all the teams come to the tournament with strong determination to do well.
The two teams that make it to the final will get a ticket to the final round of the African qualifiers to be played in South Africa in November.
