Maoist camp busted

Nuapada: Security forces uncovered a Maoist camp inside the protected forest near Gatibeda in Sunabeda Wildlife Sanctuary under Komna police limits Wednesday.

Huge quantities of Maoist ration supplies were seized from the site, according to SP Gundala Reddy Raghavendra, who addressed a presser at the district headquarters here.
