Cadres of the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attacked the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp at Mahupada near Banki Police Station in the Sundergarh District in the wee hours of April 16, reports The Statesman. The Maoists attacked the camp of the paramilitary force from two sides and consequently there was a heavy exchange of fire, which lasted for more than an hour. “Once we got wind of their action we immediately took position and retaliated with full firepower and this caught them off-guard as they were not expecting an early response. But the guards were on high alert. And experience has shown that once they face stiff resistance they simply withdraw to save their bullets and cadres”, said an unnamed CRPF official posted at Rourkela.

Times of India reports that the Andhra-Orissa Border (AOB) committee of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) claimed responsibility for the attack on the National Aluminium Company Limited’s (NALCO) Panchpatmali bauxite mines at Damanjodi in Koraput District on April 12. The Maoists conveyed this message to the local media in Koraput through a letter in Telugu on April 17. "Nalco has never worked for development of tribals in the area. Tribals of the area are still languishing. The PSU has deliberately neglected the area. Few local youths have been employed by the company. Our aim was not only to loot arms and explosives from Nalco but development of the area. Our fight against Nalco will continue," the letter stated.

Orissa Police on April 21 claimed to have arrested a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘commander’, identified as Udaya alias P. Rama Rao, along with his three associates after a raid on their hideout in the Gudari forest of Rayagada District, reports Telegraph. "Udaya is the third in the rank in the Vansadhra division and a link between (the Maoists’) Andhra committee and the Orissa unit," District Superintendent of Police Ashish Kumar Singh said. Two of the associates arrested, Surendra and Jadu, are "hardcore cadre", Singh said, adding Padmana is an area committee member who provided logistics support to Udaya and others. Udaya was one of the masterminds behind the murder of Swami Laxmananda Saraswati, a Hindu right-wing leader, and four of his associates in Kandhamal on August 23, 2008, Singh said. Since being sent to Orissa in 2001 to expand the Maoist network, Udaya was involved in over 20 cases of murder, rioting and looting of Government armouries in the Udaygiri and Nayagarh Districts, Singh added. Some of the weapons seized from Udaya and others bore marks of the Nayagarh District armoury. Udaya, who has been with the CPI-Maoist for 18 years, originally belonged to the insurgents’ Srikakulam division in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. The Maoists refer to Kandhamal, Rayagada and Gajapati as the Vansadhra Division.
