    Police gunned down two top Maoists, Shakamuri Appa Rao and Solipeta Kondal Reddy alias Tech Ramana, in two separate incidents in Nallamala forest and Warangal on Friday.

  • Around 16 Maoist guerrillas on Saturday surrendered in Orissa's Gajapati district saying they wanted to return to mainstream life, police said.

  • A State Committee member of the CPI (Maoist) was killed in an encounter with police in Warangal district on Friday.

  • The government on Friday said it has the legitimate right to use as much force as necessary to regain control of areas dominated by the Maoists and made it clear that talks with it could only take place if the ultras abjured violence.

  • Backed by air cover, security forces have launched a major campaign against Maoists in the border districts of West Bengal and Jharkhand, officials said on Thursday. Orissa will join the drive.
