The deceased, identified as Commander Tijau Ram Bhuarya, was stationed at the 4th Battalion in the Darbha area.
One of the three deceased Maoists has been identified as Lalit, aged 34 years of Gampur village in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh.
They were killed in an intelligence-based operation and the rebels were in their hideout in the mountainous terrains when the operation was launched to flush out the Maoists, said Odisha Director General of Police (DGP) Sunil Bansal.
The banners also appealed to the locals to observe "Martyrs Week" from July 28 to August 3 to commemorate the death anniversary of rebel leader and founder of CPI(ML), Charu Majumdar.
The dead include a senior Maoist leader while some more Naxal leaders are believed to have escaped from the spot, said the sources.
One can understand, to an extent, that politicians would want to shut out those who seem inconvenient to the well-settled interests to which they are committed. But the courts, that are the guardians of the constitutional rights of citizens? Well, we expect something different from them.
The message has been delivered three days after the deadly attack on security forces in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district in which 22 personnel were killed and more than 30 wounded.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the fight against Naxalism will be won by the state ‘in the end’…
It is suspected by the CRPF officials on the ground that the personnel may have been killed by the Maoists during the Saturday encounter.
