In a letter to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Naveen has drawn attention to the fact that the situation in Malkangiri, Koraput and Nuapada remains a big challenge for the government. The Maoists pose a big threat in these districts and to the security personnel deployed in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, he said.
The CM sought the deployment of additional forces in Nuapada and Malkangiri districts, saying it would conduct meaningful anti-Maoist operations in the new areas.
