Rejecting criticism from opposition parties, he also claimed to have spent 35 nights in Left-wing extremism (LWE)-hit areas during the last 12 years. "The chief minister has spent 35 nights in Naxal-hit areas which helped to boost confidence of government servants and public in those places," Patnaik said. The CM added 959 rebels had been arrested till August this year from 2006. Apart from this, 134 Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres have surrendered before the Police, he said.

In an assessment of armed cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in the State, the Odisha Police has found that between 70 and 80 per cent of them do not belong to the State, reports The Indian Express. Around 50 per cent of the total armed cadres belong to the Andhra-Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) operating in Koraput and Malkangiri Districts, a senior paramilitary officer said. The study also put the total number of armed Maoist cadre in Odisha at a little over 500. While many of them joined the outfit as recently as six months ago, some have been members for 30 years. The firearms they use range from single barrel muzzle loader to AK-47 and 9 mm pistol. “It’s the first time we could build a complete profile of Maoist cadres operating inside Odisha and the kind of firearms they use, their sociological background, their aliases, how long they have been operating in Odisha etc,” said an official at the home department. Only Andhra Pradesh has done such a profile of its Maoists so far. Officers admitted that the real numbers could be higher as there is a lot of movement from other states to Odisha, particularly from Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. There may be other Maoists offering cover to actual armed cadres whose number hasn’t been calculated. The AOBSZC is the biggest, with an estimated 240-250 cadres. The second biggest committee is Dandakaranya Zonal Committee, which has around 100 armed cadres, mostly from Chhattisgarh. The third biggest zonal committee is the Orissa State Organising Committee, which has around 80 armed cadres. Officials said Odisha Maovadi Party formed by the recently expelled Sabyasachi Panda may not have more than 20 armed cadres.

A Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) poster pasted at a high school at Badbanki village in Tureikela block in Bolangir District in Odisha, has caused panic and led to the school’s closure, reported The Telegraph on September 18. The institution has remained closed for the past 12 days, as teachers, parents and officials did not dare to open the school, for fear that the Maoists would attack. The poster pasted on the school’s closed gate issued threats to the headmistress and some officials. It said that the headmistress, the block resource coordinator and cluster resource co-ordinator would be awarded death sentence as they were the “main culprits (responsible) for degradation of the school”. The Maoists also demanded that more teachers be recruited at the school.
