Times of India: “Five Maoists were killed in a fierce encounter with security forces in a forest on the border of Odisha’s Ganjam and Gajapati districts on Wednesday.
At least two security personnel were also injured in the exchange of fire in Bhaliagada jungle under Mohana police station area, police said.
“We have received information about the death of five Maoists during an exchange of fire in the jungle. The bodies are yet to be recovered as the operation is still on,” DIG of police (southern range) R K Sharma said.
The slain ultras belonged to a group headed by Maoist leader Sabyasachi Panda, he said.”
