Director general of police Nimai Charan Padhi said the firefight with the police lasted for four hours before the naxalites, armed with sophisticated weapons and numbering 200, retreated. There was no casualty on the police side. A combing operation was underway, the DGP said. The PWG had killed five policemen in a simultaneous attack on the Motu and Kalimela police stations on August 9. Padhi said the police were fully prepared to meet the threat of armed struggle against the state announced by the PWG which had declared certain districts of Andhra Pradesh, southern districts of Orissa and Bastar region of Chhattisgarh as "composite guerilla zones". According to an official report from Malkangiri, a PWG leader at a meeting attended by about 300 local tribals in an interior village near Kalimela on August 23 had announced that the ultras would attack police stations if the Orissa government deployed the police in the area. The PWG leader identified as Loknath had said Malkangiri was a "liberated zone" and the presence of the police would not be tolerated, the report added.
