Naveen also appreciated dedicated efforts of Malkangiri DVF & SOG.
Notably, a huge cache of arms and ammunition was seized after an extensive anti-Maoist operation in ‘Swabhiman Anchal’, which was previously known as cut-off areas, in Malkangiri district by the security forces.
The operation was jointly launched by the Odisha Police, BSF, CoBRA and Andhra Police in Malkangiri district.
It was one of the biggest counter-LWE operations in the area. This operation provided security coverage for road construction in the areas which was opposed by the Maoists, said an official statement.
Connectivity in the areas brings development which in turn changes the perception of the people of the area towards mainstreaming with the society, it added.
