An encounter between Security Forces (SFs) and Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres took place in the Nalikumpa Forest area in Boudh District of Odisha on January 23, reports odishatv.in. The exchange of fire lasted for around an hour, forcing more than 30 Maoists to flee from the spot. A senior Police officer said the ultras, about 25 to 30 in numbers belonging to the KKBN (Kalahandi-Kandhamal-Boudh-Nayagarh) division of the CPI-Maoist, fled away from the spot, leaving behind their few camp articles and one sophisticated weapon. It is suspected that a few Maoists have sustained injuries, he added. A Maoist camp was destroyed by the SFs after the gunfight, and the SFs also seized a huge cache of arms and explosives, including land mines, from the camp.
