Odisha DGP visits BSF’s new base in Maoist-affected region
The Hindu
The force has set up four such bases in Swabhiman Anchal
Left wing extremists have mostly relocated to other places as security forces have established their domination in Swabhiman Anchal, which was once a stronghold of the outlawed CPI(Maoist), said Odisha Director General of Police Abhay on Sunday.
Mr. Abhay, who visited Ghanbeda, once a highly Maoist affected area in the Swabhmian Anchal, where Border Security Force (BSF) recently set up Company Operating Base (COB), said, “State police, BSF and local people have been working in tandem to bring changes in the area. The transformation is visible in the area.”
“A bridge is required to be constructed for facilitating smooth movement of forces to reach Jantri, the tail end of Swabhiman area. It would mark the end of the presence of CPI (Maoist),” he said.
