DGP YB Khurania Assesses Law and Order in Boudh Amid Ongoing Maoist Operations

Boudh: In a proactive move to evaluate the law and order situation in the region, Director General of Police (DGP) YB Khurania visited Boudh on Friday. His visit comes as part of the ongoing efforts to strengthen security measures in areas affected by Maoist insurgency.

During his time in Boudh, DGP Khurania convened a meeting with high-ranking officials at the district police headquarters. Key attendees included IG Operations Jai Narayan Pankaj, SIW DIG Kanwar Vishal Singh, South Range DIG Sarthak Sadangi, and Boudh SP Nageshwar Debarkonda. The discussions focused on strategies to enhance safety and address any challenges in maintaining law and order.

In a related development, CRPF IG Archana Shivhare arrived in nearby Kandhamal to assess the ongoing Maoist situation. Her visit follows successful operations against Maoists in Chhattisgarh and aims to boost troop morale while intensifying efforts to eliminate Maoist presence in the region. Shivhare traveled by helicopter to the Baliguda Mini Stadium from Chhattisgarh.

This heightened focus on security comes in response to directives from Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who has urged Chief Ministers of Maoist-affected states to conduct monthly reviews of law and order. Furthermore, DGPs have been instructed to assess the situation biweekly and spend at least one night per month in districts impacted by Maoist activities.
