In Bhubaneswar, a member of the Odisha Police's Special Operation Group was injured by a bullet during a confrontation with Maoists in the Nuapada district on Monday. According to a senior police officer, this incident occurred around 3 am as the SOG personnel engaged with the Maoists in the Sunabeda forest near Shivanarayanpur, which is located on the border of Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
The ADG, Dev Datta Singh, stated that the exchange of fire resulted in one of the SOG jawans being shot. He was immediately transported to Raipur for medical treatment and is currently in stable condition. Singh also mentioned that this was not the only encounter that took place that morning. At around 8 am, security personnel encountered another group of Maoists approximately 3 km away from Shivnarayanpur. There was another exchange of fire, but the Maoists were able to flee the scene. However, there is suspicion that some of the Maoists may have been injured during this encounter.
After the situation was under control, authorities conducted search operations and were able to recover 10 improvised explosive devices (IEDs), a loaded pistol, and other incriminating materials. This further highlights the dangerous nature of these confrontations with Maoist groups. The incident has been reported by PTI, and the police are continuing their investigations to ensure the safety and security of the region.
This encounter serves as a reminder of the constant danger faced by security personnel in these areas and their bravery in protecting the citizens. It also sheds light on the ongoing efforts to combat Maoist activities and maintain peace and stability in the region. The recovered materials will be crucial in further investigations and taking necessary actions to prevent future attacks. The police force remains vigilant and committed to maintaining law and order in the region.
