Malkangiri: In a success to security forces against ultras in the district, at least one cadre Maoist was killed and huge cache of items were seized from a Maoist camp which was raided in Ramaguda village in Malkangiri district on Thursday.

As per the information given by ADG (Operations) RP Koche on the operation today, a joint group of Greyhounds, Border Security Force (BSF) and Special Operation Group (SOG) raided a Maoist camp located near Balimela Reservoir during combing yesterday. A bloody gun battle erupted between the combing party and Maoists at a later stage which left one uniformed cadre of CPI (Maoist) group dead.

However, a number of Maoists managed to sneak into the dense forest after blasting landmines during the firing.

Security personnel also seized one SLR rifle and a 303 gun from the spot along with some daily use goods.

While police have not disclosed the identity of the dead Maoist, the combing operation is underway in the area.
