Bhubaneswar (Orissa): Special Operation Group Jawans and CRPF men have jointly launched a massive search operation along the Orissa- Jharkhand border areas near Biramitrapur in Sundergarh district following reports of movement of Maoists.

Police said on Friday that some armed men on motorcycles, suspected to be Maoists were sighted in the border areas creating panic among the villagers in Orissa and Jharkhand.

The movement of ultras on the eve of the New Year bash brought back memories of the Maoist attempt to blow up Banajore police outpost in Jharkhand barely two kilometers away from Biramitrapur town.

Similarly security arrangements had also been beefed up in almost all the police stations in the district as a precautionary measure to avoid any Maoist related incident, the sources said. source
