However, the Maoists soon fled from the spot, he said, adding that ammunition, substantial quantities of food materials, and items of daily use, along with Maoist literature, were seized from the camps. Another Maoist training camp was also found on a hill between Gatta Pal and Paria villages, and the DRG team neutralised it. "The camp was spread over an area of two acres and could accommodate 80–100 Naxals. During the search, live rounds of the AK-47 rifle, Maoist uniforms, bags, medicines, electric wires, solar panels, Maoist literature, and a huge quantity of ration materials and items of daily use were found," ASP Barman added.
