BSF is actively operating in Malkangiri district to dominate the area. Recovery of IED making materials during ongoing TCOC, being observed by Maoists, would certainly have a demoralizing affect on Maoist cadres and their sympathizers. Such recoveries would certainly provide safety and security to the Security Forces operating on ground as well as local populace in the region. Demining exercise in Swabhiman Anchal has been going on since BSF had moved in the region which used to be a stroghold of Maoists.
