Bhubaneswar: Based on credible information about presence of armed CPI (Maoist) group, anti-Maoist operation was launched on Sunday evening in Poplur – Kurmanur forest (Bejangiwada Reserve Forest) area under Kalimela Police Station of Malkangiri district by the District and State Operations Wing by mobilising two units of Special Operations Group.



During the operation, there was exchange of fire between the armed CPI (Maoist) cadres and the Security Forces in Poplur – Kurmanur forest (Bejangiwada RF) in the wee hours of Sunday. Five (05) hardcore CPI (Maoist) cadres (03 males and 02 female cadres) were killed in this operation.

Two SLR rifles, 01 INSAS rifle, one .303 rifle, one grenade and other articles have been recovered from the spot. The identification of the cadres, who were killed in this encounter, is under process.

Considering the fact that Malkangiri district in general and Kalimela PS area in particular is considered to be one of the strongholds of CPI (Maoist), this operation is considered to be a spectacular achievement by the District and Operations Wing of the State Police, which will go a long way in containing the CPI (Maoist) activities in Kalimela PS area of Malkangiri district, said the DGP Dr Rajendra Prasad Sharma during a press conference here today.
