The Odisha police have decided to deploy advanced drones in operations against left wing extremists, who have been cornered in smaller pockets.
At the strategy conference on Left Wing Extremism held here on Wednesday, Director General of Police Sunil Bansal praised the efforts of district police, Special Intelligence Wing, Special Operation Group and Central Armed Police Forces for their combined efforts in bringing about remarkable improvement in the LWE situation in the State.
