Secret Maoist Den Busted in Koraput

Koraput: Police have unearthed a huge dump of the outlawed Maoists in Ankadelli on the Odisha-Andhra Pradesh border.

A team of District Volunteer Force (DVF) and bomb disposal team led by Koraput SP recovered five bundles of codex wire (50 Kg), four bundles of detonators (100), 15 new walkie-talkies and a steel container as well as several electronic gadgets.

According to reports, this dump was buried by Maoist leaders Uday (a central committee member), Aruna (an SZC member) and Suresh (an SZC member) to target security forces in the Andhra-Odisha border (AOB) area with the help of local militia.

Odisha Police launched ‘Operation Khoj’ and ‘Operation Ghar Wapsi’ some time back to completely sanitise and demine the area. Numerous Maoists also laid down their arms and returned to the mainstream following the launch of ‘Operation Ghar Wapsi’.
