Eight Special Operation Group (SOG) personnel escaped unhurt when landmines planted by the cadres of the Communist Party of India–Maoist (CPI-Maoist) exploded just after their vehicles passed the spot at Jamapani in the Mayurbhanj district on February 5, reports PTI. The explosion took place soon after the SOG personnel on four motor-cycles travelled along the place where the Maoists had planted the landmines on the hilly road at Gorumahisani, Superintendent of Police Dayal Gangwar said. The insurgents present in the surrounding areas opened fire at the SOG personnel, after which the security men retaliated, triggering a gun battle which continued for over half-an-hour, he added. However, no casualties were reported.

13 police personnel and a civilian were killed and four policemen were wounded when around 500 heavily armed cadres of the Communist Party of India - Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attacked a Police Training School (PTS), the district armoury and district police station in co-ordinated attacks near Daspalla in the Nayagarh district at around 10:45pm (IST) on February 15, reported Times of India. They also took away a cache of arms and ammunition in a bus they had hijacked in the district, about 100-km from State capital Bhubaneswar. Police sources claimed that three Maoists were also killed in the incident. However, their bodies have not been recovered and it is suspected that the Maoists before fleeing took away the bodies of their slain comrades. Before launching the attack, the Maoists, speaking in Hindi and Telugu, and suspected to be from neighbouring Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh, announced that they would not harm the public as their target was the police. The police suspect it to be the handy work of Sabyasachi Panda, the CPI-Maoist Andhra-Orissa ‘secretary’. Meanwhile, a red alert has been sounded in the State and the police have started combing operations in the neighbouring districts of Phulbani, Gajapati, Rayagada and Malkangiri in Orissa. The attack was the first of its kind in coastal Orissa, according to The Hindu. The district armoury and PTS were virtually emptied by the Maoists, the police said. Though Nayagarh district had been unaffected by the Maoist insurgency, the extremists are active in the neighbouring Gajapati and parts of Kandhamal district. Nayagarh is also reportedly the home town of Maoist leader Sabysachi Panda.

At least 20 cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), including some women cadres, were killed during the ongoing combing operation by security forces (SFs) in the border area of Nayagarh-Ganjam-Kandhamal districts on February 17, reports The Hindu. SFs, however, lost three of their personnel in the combing operation launched on a massive scale in different sensitive pockets in Nayagarh, Ganjam, Gajapati, Kandhamal and Rayagada districts. The combing operations were started on February 16 after hundreds of Maoists raided the police establishments in Nayagarh district, killing 15 persons, including 13 policemen, and decamping with huge quantities of arms and ammunition on February 15-night. "We have information about killing of 20 Maoists and three jawans of Special Operation Group (SOG) during the combing operation," Home Secretary T. K. Mishra said. Without disclosing the exact location where the Maoists were killed by security forces, he said "reports are received from different places including the Gansar Hills". Mishra said sophisticated equipment like night (vision) binoculars, global positioning system (GPS) and other gadgets were being used to monitor movement of the extremists inside the dense forests. Two choppers were being used for movement of personnel in order to coordinate the operation, Mishra added.

A powerful landmine weighing about 20 kilograms was recovered by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel during a combing operation in the Gajapati district on February 18-morning, Statesman reported. The landmine had been planted by the CPI-Maoist cadres recently with an intention to target the CRPF personnel who regularly patrol the roads on the isolated stretch. CRPF commandant A. K. Das said, "The mine was detected near the Adagan village on the Paniganda to Jhumurigada road about 15 km from Adava village in the Mohona Block". "This road links to the Brahmanigam village of the Kandhamala District, and is now regularly used to transport the security men who are moving towards the Kandhamala District for the anti naxalite (left-wing extremist) operations."

According to Times of India, security force personnel with the help of Indian Air Forces choppers searched the hills and dense forests of the Nayagarh and Ganjam districts and recovered a truckload of arms and ammunition lying abandoned in the Gosama hills of Ganjam district on February 18. The abandoned objects included around 400 rifles and more than 60,000 cartridges. However, most of the sophisticated AK-47 assault rifles looted during the Nayagarh attack on February 15-night was not part of the recovered items. The recovery is nearly 40 percent of the weaponry that the Maoists looted in the attack, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik informed the State legislative assembly. "There are three IAF helicopters helping us intercept the ultras on the run. We are pursuing them inside the jungle, along the hills and in the villages in 10 to 12 different operation zones from Kalingaghati to Bhanjanagar and Gallery to Chakapada "said an unnamed police officer."

Koraput and Rayagada following a general strike called by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to protest against the disappearance of a senior CPI-Maoist cadre, identified as Sudhir, from police custody. Sudhir, who had been deputed as ‘area commander’ of the newly formed Koraput dalam (squad) a few weeks ago, was reported missing and the Maoists alleged that police had either killed or arrested him. The Maoists alleged that Sudhir was missing ever since he was on his way to Bhubaneswar from Jeypore in the Koraput district a few days back. Police officials, however, denied the charges and said that the strike called is pre-planned and aimed at diverting police attention from the Nayagarh incident.

Naveen Patnaik on February 19 announced a series of measures that his government had decided to take up to counter extremism, according to Kalinga Times. Patnaik announced in the State Legislative Assembly that all police stations and armouries will be fortified and vacancies filled up expeditiously at the earliest. About 1300 posts of Constables and Sepoys and 300 other ranks will be created for the OSAP (Special Security) Battalions for guarding of the newly fortified police stations. The strength of the Special Operation Group will be increased by sanctioning 1000 additional posts. Five India Reserve Battalions (IRBs) will be created after obtaining sanction from the Government of India. The Special Intelligence Wing for Naxalite (left-wing extremism) activities will be strengthened by suitably augmenting it. One post of Superintendent of Police (Technical) will be created for this Wing. The Director General of Police will be authorised to give appointment to the next of kin of the deceased police personnel in the anti-Naxalite operations and attacks commensurate with their qualifications and eligibility. And, more districts will be covered under the scheme of Security Related Expenditure with the approval of the Central government.

While replying to an adjournment motion on the law and order situation moved by the Opposition in the wake of the Maoist attack and arms loot in Nayagarh on February 15-night, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on February 21 claimed that the Maoist violence in Orissa was much less when compared to the neighbouring States, reports Kalinga Times. "The naxal violence profile in the State remains much less compared to the neighbouring naxal affected States like Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh and Bihar," Patnaik said in the State Legislative Assembly. "Whenever we discuss Nayagarh, are naturally reminded of horrifying incidents of neighbouring States such as the Dantewada incident of July 2007 in Chhattisgarh in which 23 persons were killed, the Ranibodli incident of Chhattisgarh on March 15, 2007 where 54 police personnel were killed, the incident of Chilkhari in Jharkhand on October 27, 2007 where the son of Babulal Marandi, former Chief Minister of Jharkhand was killed," Patnaik said in his statement. "While 52 incidents involving 15 deaths (13 civilians and two security personnel) took place in our State during the year 2007, 538 incidents involving 350 deaths (180 security personnel and 170 civilians) took place in Chhattisgarh, 421 incidents involving 150 deaths (11 security personnel and 139 civilians) took place in Jharkhand," Patnaik added.
