During search in the targeted area, the troops located an old Maoist dump near Marigetta village under Kalimela police limits in the district.

Following IED making materials and Maoist related items were found from the site:

The BSF said this area used to be highly dominated by Maoists and their sympathisers. The Maoist outfits would keep IED making materials in isolated and secluded places to prepare IEDs to be used against the security forces and police operating in these areas.
