Bhubaneswar, Oct 18: Odisha Director General of Police (DGP) YB Khurania visited Boudh on Friday to assess the district's law and order situation. He held a meeting with senior officials at the district police office, focusing on strategies to maintain security and address any emerging challenges.

The meeting was attended by IG Operations Jai Narayan Pankaj, SIW DIG Kanwar Vishal Singh, South Range DIG Sarthak Sadangi, and Boudh SP Nageshwar Debarkonda.

In a parallel development, CRPF IG Archana Shivhare arrived in Kandhamal to review anti-Maoist operations. Following successful suppression of Maoist activities in neighboring Chhattisgarh, Shivhare's visit aims to motivate security forces and intensify efforts to eliminate Maoist influence in the region. She arrived at Baliguda Mini Stadium by helicopter from Chhattisgarh.

This visit follows Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s directive to Chief Ministers of Maoist-affected states to review law and order monthly and instructed DGPs to assess the situation every 15 days. The Home Minister also advised DGPs to spend a night each month in Maoist-affected districts to strengthen ground operations.
