RAIPUR: For long, it has been suspected that the Maoists have opened a new front along the border of central Chhattisgarh and Orissa. An ambush on Monday confirmed that.
Nine policemen, including a young officer, were killed, just 140 kilometres from the state capital.
Early Tuesday morning, the bodies were found in the bushes on both sides of a mud road. The team of Chhattisgarh policemen had come under sharp Maoist fire, 14 kilometres from the state border, near Sonabeda in Nuapara district of Orissa. They had travelled from Gariaband police station, part of Raipur district, 120 kilometres from the state capital. Gariaband adjoins Nuapara, and shares a contiguous forest area.
