Odisha Police has been instrumental in a high-profile anti-Naxal operation in the Kularighat forest area of Chhattisgarh. This operation led to the elimination of at least 14 Maoists, with the support of Chhattisgarh’s police forces. The success of the mission was attributed to timely and precise intelligence, effective coordination between the Odisha and Chhattisgarh police forces, and the use of advanced technology like high-resolution drones. Special Operations Group (SOG) teams from both states played a crucial role in neutralizing the armed Naxals.
The operation demonstrates the importance of inter-state cooperation in tackling Naxalism, with Odisha’s strategic support enhancing the overall operation’s success. Such collaborations mark a significant step in regional security, and police forces are committed to addressing the growing threat posed by extremist groups in the region.
