This information has been given here in a press release issued by BSF. According to the press release, On 29th Aug 2023, the BSF troops in Malkangiri sector conducted multiple operations in the interior areas of the District. During the ops, troops of 142 Bn BSF carried out an Operation in the general area of Gomphakonda Reserve Forest in Andhrapradesh-Odisha bordering area. During search in the targeted area, the Ops party located an old Maoist dumps in the Reserve Forest , in the Marigetta -Tekguda axis, under GP/PS limits of Kalimela. In another ops troops of COB Jantri /177 Bn located a Maoist dump near village Taber in Swabhiman Anchal under PS limits of Jodambo in Malkangiri district, Odisha. BSF has been carrying out relentless Operations in highly Naxal affected districts of Malkangiri and Koraput in South Odisha.

Earlier this area used to be highly influenced by Maoists and their sympathisers. The Maoist outfits would keep IED making materials and arms/ammunitions at isolated and secluded places to be used against the SFs/Police operating in these areas. BSF is actively operating in Malkangiri district and extensively dominating the area. In the wake of recovery, further combing and search operations would continue to make the area safe for SFs as well as locals.
