Telegraph reports that the Odisha Government has decided to raise another 50 Special Operations Group (SOG) to combat the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) menace in the State. State Home Secretary U. N. Behera said, “The State has already formed 50 SOG units comprising 1,800 jawans [troopers]. Another 1,800 jawans will be recruited under the SOG units.” “We have plans to recruit another 5,000 constables to fill up the vacancies. The Government has already given the financial approval,” Behera added. Apart from raising the SOG units, the Government is also planning to set up four counter-insurgency anti-terrorists (CIT) schools in the State. Behera said the proposed CIT schools would impart training to the troopers of Odisha Police. The schools would come up at Chandaka, Rourkela and Koraput. Similarly, Police training schools would also come up at Bairi and Sambalpur. The Odisha Government has also decided to urge the Centre to initiate steps in providing an 18-seater chopper to the State. “We have started negotiating with the Pawan Hansh. During our proposed meeting with the cabinet secretary, we have decided to raise this issue,” said a senior officer. Five battalions of the Border Security Force (BSF), seven battalions of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), 50 units of the SOG, four battalions of the India Reserve Battalions (IRB) and personnel of one Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) battalion have been put into service across the Maoists-infested Districts in the State. While the BSF has been deployed in Malkangiri and Koraput, CRPF troopers have been posted in Rayagada, Gajapati, Sundergarh, Kandhamal, Mayurbhanj, Deogarh and Keonjhar.

The road transport ministry is finalising a proposal to develop 1,100 kilometres of road corridor along the Andhra Pradesh border linking it with Maharashtra, Orissa and Chhattisgarh. The latest plan to expand the road network tops up a 2009 project worth INR 73 billion to build 5,477 km of two-lane roads in the 33 Left Wing Extremist (LWE) hit Districts across eight States. "Areas along the Andhra, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Orissa border are worst-hit by the Naxal [LWE] menace. The road network will bring development there, a part of the Centre's strategy to wean away the Naxalite support," said an official involved with the project. The two-lane corridor will cost approximately INR 25 billion.
