Malkangiri: The security personnel destroyed a Maoist camp and seized several articles inside Pujariguda forest in Bonda Ghat area in Odisha’s Malkangiri district on Thursday.

Briefing mediapersons, Malkangiri SP Khilari Rishikesh Dnyandeo said a joint team of the District Voluntary Force (DVF) and Special Operation Group (SOG) personnel conducted a search operation on Monday on the basis of the intelligence input about Maoists having set up a camp inside the forest.

The security personnel later busted a camp inside the forest and seized several articles. A fresh search operation has begun in the forest this morning to track down the ultras,” the SP said.
