Malkangiri: In a major success against left wing extremism (LWE) security forces seized a large quantity of explosives, suspected to have been kept by Maoists, in Odisha’s Malkangiri district on Wednesday.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of Malkangiri’s district voluntary force (DVF) conducted a special operation and seized 12 land mines and 190 gelatine sticks buried in a forest near Dayaltung village under the jurisdiction of Kalimela police station on Odisha-Andhra border.
It is suspected that the explosives belonged to the Maoists, and would have been used by them to target civilians and security forces, a senior police official said.
