BHUBANESWAR: Upping the ante against Maoists, the Odisha Police have decided to set up new company operating bases (COBs) with the help of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Border Security Force (BSF) in Naxal hotbeds, especially in Malkangiri, Rayagada, Kandhamal, Kalahandi and Koraput districts.
Director general of police Abhay, intelligence director R K Sharma and inspector general (operations) Amitabh Thakur among other senior police officers on Monday toured Malkangiri, Kalahandi and Koraput districts and discussed with CRPF and BSF officials regarding establishment of the new COBs.
