Two cadre of the outlawed CPI (Maoist) were killed in an exchange of fire with security forces in Swabhiman Anchal in Odisha’s Malkangiri district early on Sunday.
The exchange of fire had taken place near Singharam village, close to Alampakka where 39 security personnel, most of them belonging to Andhra Pradesh police’s elite Greyhound force, were killed in an ambush set up by CPI (Maoist) in 2008. The operation was carried out by Special Operation Group, a special anti-naxal force of Odisha police.
