In 2000, Dantewada was one of the 16 Madhya Pradesh districts that             constituted the new state of Chhattisgarh.     Dantewada was bifurcated in 2007, resulting in a new district Bijapur district,           Chhattisgarh with four tehsils: Bijapur, Bhairamgarh, Usoor and Bhopalpatnam. It           was further bifurcated in 2012, resulting in another new district, Sukma, with           three tehsils: Chhindgarh, Sukma and Konta.    Maoist rebellion    The district is currently a part of the Red Corridor. Over the last year, more than                 350 people have been killed and 50,000 moved into camps in the Dantewada             district, as a result of a Maoist uprising.    In April 2010, the Maoist rebels killed at least 75 Indian soldiers in a series of               attacks on security convoys in Dantewada.
