The Security Forces (SFs) and cadres of the Community Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) exchanged fire in yet another gun battle in Tulasi forest range in Malkangiri District of Odisha on October 15, reports Odisha TV. Senior Police officials said, this is the second instance of fierce gun battle between the Maoists and SFs reported from the area in the past one week. As per reports, a team of Special Operation Group (SOG) personnel and District Voluntary Force (DVF), had launched a combing operation after getting inputs regarding the presence and movement of the Maoists in the region. On seeing the SFs, the Maoists opened fire on them. The SFs retaliated by firing back. It is suspected that the Maoists again regrouped near the spot where three of their cadres were recently gun downed by the SFs. Around 30 to 40 Maoists were present in the camp, sources said. Earlier, South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP) had reported that three Maoists cadres, including two women cadres, had been killed in an encounter in Tulasi forest range in Malkangiri District on October 12.
