Bhubaneswar: Two women maoists were killed in an encounter with the security forces on Kandhamal – Boudh border on Tuesday. The operation was carried out in a dense forest in Gochhapada area on Kandhamal – Boudh border.
The combing was a planned operation based on intelligence. Kandhamal SP Vineet Agarwal coordinated and led the operation, said DG Police Sunil Kumar Bansal.
“Our forces have also recovered two high quality firearms and 11 live ammunition during the search operation which led to the discovery of the slain Maoists,” Bansal said.
The identification of the two deceased left wing extremists is underway and the police assumes them to belong to higher ranks in the outlawed organisation, the DGP added.
