Odisha police appeals to Maoists to return to mainstream
The Odisha government has decided to make Malkangiri Maoist-free, police said on Saturday, urging left-wing extremists (LWE) to join the mainstream.
The appeal by the state police comes a week after villagers killed a Maoist member and injured another.
During his maiden visit to the LWE-hit area, Odisha DGP Abhay said, "The state government has already decided to make the area as Maoist free and therefore making elaborate development plan for it."
