14 Maoists killed in encounter in Odisha​

BHUBANESWAR/ KORAPUT: At least 14 armed Maoists, including a woman cadre, were gunned down inside a forest near Podia in Odisha's Malkangiri district during an exchange between security personnel and extremists in the early hours of Saturday, police said.

"We had specific information about the Maoists entering Odisha from Chhattisgarh last night," DGP Prakash Mishra said.

A team of Malkangiri police, special operations group (an anti-insurgency force) and the district voluntary force (comprising ex-servicemen) launched the combing operations in the area, leading to the killings.

The DGP said there were no reports of any casualty from the police. "We are yet to get information on the number of Maoists who could have been injured," he told mediapersons in Bhubaneswar before leaving for Malkangiri along with senior police and intelligence officers to take stock of the situation.

Mishra said they suspected those killed could be part of either the local area squad (LOS) of CPI (Maoist) Podia unit or of the Dandakaranya special zonal committee. "It can be said that some of those killed were involved in the Dharba Ghati operations (of the Maoists in which several Congress leaders of Chhattisgarh were slain on May 25)," the DGP added.

Security men recovered huge cache of arms, including AK-47 rifles, ammunition and Maoists belongings from the spot. Police sources said never before in Odisha the Red rebels had suffered such high casualty in a single operation.

Police said they raided the Red outlaws' camp based on specific intelligence inputs regarding the functioning of a Maoist camp on the Odisha-Chhattisgarh border. "The incident could act as a deterrent for ultras trying to sneak into Odisha from Chhattisgarh," a senior cop said.

On September 11, security personnel killed a female Maoist during an encounter in Rayagada district. Four BSF men were killed in a landmine explosion triggered by Maoists in Koraput district on August 27.

Let's hope that the Maoists go through the Chimneys.
I have no mercy for them. Thousands have been sent to the air in the last 4 years. The area under their influence has drastically reduced. They will and should be finished. But more important is to butcher the intellectuals who sit in AC homes, go for chai in JNU and order people to die for a cause they don't understand.

Sarthak da,
unlike u, i have my full sympathy to their struggle...at least their philosophy. its very unfortunate that this struggle , like many other "internal" struggles eg ULFA fell out of its legitimacy after starting out in the right track.
i dont want this useless war to rant on, but supposing alll the maoists and their supporters are suddenly gone one day, what will be the consequence of this ????
the adivasis will go back to their hiding in the jungles, fearing the goons sent by the caretakers of our democracy, will be branded as left over maoists n killed n obliterated of their trace, and most importantly, their legitimate right on their homeland , the jungle. next thing u will know is, big corporates are lining up to buy contracts for mining in those areas which were previously under the tribals to call home.
and about the intellectuals sitting in AC room n all that, they did their fair share of fighting n now sit on a better platform to view n lead its foot soldiers to maximum efficiency. those oldies are no good fighting a young man's war. would u like ur own PM to go man the indo-pak border for godsake. ???

All this ideological point making is no longer the issue. Extermination of the Naxalites is State Policy. The Naxalites have two choices - surrender or die and I fully support this policy.

mindless & skewed state policies such as these have created insurgencies all around india. cosmetic changes such as Extermination of the Naxalites and neglect of the main reason of maladministration has been and shall be the main State Policy of our country.
ideological point making seems very "ideological" especially, if , someone has NOT got the taste of state danda.
dada, ghore aagun laaglei poschaddeshe gorom laagey....onner ghorer aagun ??? ideological point making.

Seven Naxals killed in police encounter in Gadchiroli
In the biggest encounter in Gadchiroli’s history till date in terms of Naxal casualties helped by pinpointed intelligence, seven Naxals died in police action in Korchi tahsil of the district on Monday night. The deceased included some very senior members and two women.

The encounter happened when the Naxals were walking away from Khursipaar village after burning a gram panchayat there on Sunday. In an operation supervised by Inspector General of Police (Nagpur range) Ravindra Kadam, the police had positioned four teams in different directions after knowing about the incident. “Around 10 am on Monday night, a few kilometer away from the village, a team led by Assistant Police Inspector P P Tiwari of Chichgadh police station of Gondia spotted the Naxals. An encounter ensued in which all seven member of the gang were killed,” Kadam told The Indian Express.

The deceased included some very senior members of the movement like Lalsu, who was member of the North Gadchiroli-Gondia division, Umesh, commander of Platoon 56, Navin and Veeru. The deceased women Naxals were Chamko and Runnibai, Kadam informed. One of the deceased is yet to be identified.

The police recovered one AK-47, two SLRs, one carbine, one 303, one 12-bore gun and a pistol from the spot, along with a lot of other material.

Earlier in Gadchiroli maximum Naxal casualty figure in an encounter was six, at Govindgaon, where five of the deceased were women.

Monday’s operation was also significant for the quick intelligence drawn by the police after the Naxals burnt the gram panchayat. Sources said the Naxal act wasn’t perhaps liked by the villagers.

“Growing and faster intelligence is also indicative of Naxals losing public support, a fact borne out by many of their documents now,” they said.

This is second successful operation by Gadchiroli police this year. A few days ago, they had done one along with Chhattisgarh police on the other side of the border, killing three Naxals.

The police had turned the heat in a big way on the Naxals last year by killing a record 28 of them.

Indian police kill seven Maoist fighters

Police claim major success after operation in jungle of Gadchiroli district in western Maharashtra state.

Indian police have killed seven Maoists during an operation in a rebel stronghold known as the "Red Corridor".

Police came under attack in a jungle area of Gadchiroli district in the western state of Maharashtra, sparking an exchange of fire between the two groups on Tuesday, local police spokesman Dharmendra Joshi, said.

"They came under fire in the early morning. There were no injuries sustained by police, and the identification of the dead bodies is going on," Joshi said. "The combing operations of the area have intensified."

Gadchiroli police chief Mohammad Suvez Haque said officers believed a Maoist divisional commander was killed in the firing, after which weapons including an AK-47 and rifles were recovered from the fighters.

"This is a great achievement for the police forces as Maoists have been involved in several violent activities in the Gadchiroli area for many years," Haque said.

The Maoists have become a potent insurgent force, demanding land and jobs for the poor and fighting for a communist society by toppling what they call India's "semi-colonial, semi-feudal" form of rule.

The insurgency is believed to have cost tens of thousands of lives, with much action focused around the fighters' so-called "Red Corridor" stretching throughout central and eastern India.

Critics believe military action is not enough to stem the unrest, saying the real solution is better governance and development.
