            <br />RAIPUR (AFP) - Maoist rebels killed at least 15

elections, police said.<br />

Security officials and police sources said the victims were all 
killed when up to 200 rebels ambushed a patrol in forests to the south 
of the state capital Raipur before a major gun battle erupted.<br />

Eleven members of the national paramilitary Central Reserve Police 
Force (CRPF) were killed along with four members of the state police 
force, said Mukesh Gupta, one of Chhattisgarh s most senior police 
officers.<br />

"As of now, a total of 11 CRPF, four policemen and one civilian have died," Gupta told AFP.<br />

Others suggested the death toll was even higher.<br />

Rajinder Kumar Vij, the head of anti-Maoist operations in the central
 state, put the number of CRPF personnel dead at 15 and said that five 
state policemen had also been killed.<br />

There were no figures on the number of Maoist casualties.<br />

The forces were involved in an operation to clear and open a road in 
Sukma district when the rebels detonated a landmine and started firing 
indiscriminately, Vij told AFP.<br />

"The attack sparked a gun battle that lasted about three hours."<br />

Several people were injured in the attack and were being airlifted to
 Raipur for treatment. Security reinforcements have been rushed to the 
area, along with top state government officials.<br />

Gupta said the attack took place at around 10:30am in a 
heavily-forested area during the operation to clear the road some 400 
kilometres (250 miles) from Raipur.<br />

"The attack was on one of our police parties as the Naxalites 
(Maoists) have been frustrated at our increased presence in the area," 
he said.<br />
"We don t yet know the casualties on the attackers side... It is difficult for us because of the topography of the area.<br />

"The attack was close to the site of an ambush in May last year on a 
convoy carrying members of India s ruling Congress party in which 24 
people were killed, including the state party president and his son.<br />

The latest deaths will heighten fears of unrest in the Maoists  
stronghold in the build-up to the nationwide elections which begin in 
early April.<br />
Voting will take place in Chhattisgarh in three phases, on April 10, 17 and 24.<br />

The Maoists, who have been described by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
 as the country s most serious internal security threat, have been 
fighting since 1967 for a communist society by toppling what they call 
India s "semi-colonial, semi-feudal" form of rule.<br />

with much action focused around the insurgent-dominated, so-called "Red 
Corridor" stretching through central and eastern India.<br />

In 2010, rebels killed 35 people in a landmine attack on a bus in 
Chhattisgarh. The explosion tore the front off the bus, killing 24 
civilians and 11 police personnel.<br />
