The Odisha Government is following a two-pronged strategy of stepping up operation against Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) while also accelerating the pace of development work in remote areas hit by Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) insurgency, reports The Telegraph on March 11.

Steps will also be taken to ensure that schools and hospitals in the insurgency-hit Districts, such as Koraput and Malkangiri, do not face shortage of teachers and doctors. "Security forces have been asked to go all out against the Maoists, but there is equal focus on development initiatives as this would help the government win the confidence of the people whom the rebels have been trying to convert to their cause," said an official from the Unified Command, the highest decision making body in such matters.
