The Nuapada Police and District Voluntary Force (DVF) jawans recovered a significant cache of explosives during a targeted anti-Maoist operation in the Patadhara-Garjanpani area under the Boden block.
Acting on specific intelligence inputs under the directive of the Superintendent of Police, security forces launched a thorough search and de-mining operation in the forested terrain. The meticulous sweep led to the recovery of 7 suspicious pressure cooker IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) and 4 bundles of electrical wire.
According to police officials, the seized materials are suspected to be remnants of stocks previously stockpiled by Maoist cadres. The timely recovery has successfully averted a potential threat to local residents and security personnel operating in the region.
A police press release noted that several cadres of the DGN Division have either surrendered or been neutralised in recent operations, marking a massive decline in extremist activities across the region. The seized explosive materials have been safely secured, and further legal and investigative procedures are currently underway as security forces continue to maintain high vigilance in the area.
