They were working in the Maoist organisation since 2009, 2016, and 2011 respectively," said the SP (Kandhamal). The trio were involved in several Maoist-related violences in Kandhamal.

They will be suitably rehabilitated under the surrender rehabilitation scheme of the govt, he said. Sekhar appealed to other ultras to shun violence and join the mainstream.

Security forces recover 16 IEDs planted by Maoists; diffuse them on the spot in Jharkhand
'During the combing operation in the Kotsona and Langi hill areas, the security forces recovered 16 IEDs, each weighing approximately 2 kg, planted by Maoist cadres to target security personnel and hinder ongoing operations,' stated The official communique was released by the Chaibasa police. The bomb disposal squad safely defused all the explosives on the spot, eliminating any potential risk to civilian lives or security forces, it said. The search operation continues. Notably, Maoists are now restricted only to the Saranda jungles in Jharkhand as they have been wiped out from other pockets of the state. According to an estimate, around 85 - 90 Maoists are supposed to be hiding in the Saranda jungles, where they have planted thousands of IEDs, which have become a challenge for the security forces. Even though Maoists have planted IEDs in the entire area, forces are advancing slowly into the jungles with full determination and have established several temporary security camps in their core areas, he said. The state police have launched a joint operation in Kolhan jungles in November 2022 after a tip-off that some of the senior Maoist leaders, including Misir Besra and Patiram Majhi alias Anal Da, are hiding in that forest stretch, which is said to be strategically important.
