Maoist Dump Busted, Huge Explosives Recovered In Odisha’s Malkangiri

Malkangiri: In a major haul, the Odisha Police on Tuesday recovered huge quantity of explosives in the cutoff area of Malkangiri district.

Malkangiri SP Rishikesh Khilari informed media persons that on an intelligence input about the presence of Maoists in the cutoff area, the District Voluntary Force (DVF) personnel launched a combing operation in an area near Odisha-Chhattisgarh border in the morning.

During the operation, the DVF personnel came across a mound under a tree inside the forest. On digging up the mound they recovered huge explosives, including 2 IEDs, 20 kg of Cordtex cables, 50 electronic detonators and 70 aluminium super detonators.
