Kandhamal: The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) busted a Maoist camp at Radhahatitedu under Kotgarh police limits of Kandhamal district on Sunday.

During a combing operation, the eighth battalion of the CRPF came across a camp in the area and seized several articles including detonators, gelatin sticks and tiffin bombs.
