Ri might also request Swaraj to augment New Delhi’s humani- tarian assistance as well as its educational and cultural aid to Pyongyang. He is also likely to explain his government’s stand on nuclear programme of his country, sources added.

The attack triggered a two- hour long gun battle in the worst-affected Pidmel-Polam- palli area of the district. Offi- cials said a group of about 300 Maoists opened heavy fire on the police team at around 9:15 am. “Seven of our troops have been martyred, while about 12 were injured in the encounter,” Additional Director General of Police (anti-Maoist operations) R K Vij said. The 70 member STF squad was confronted with a volley of bullets in the jungle which is at the south-axis of the Dornapal- Chintagufa area where several ambushes and killings of secu- rity forces have taken place in the past, including the most deadly attack when 76 person- nel were killed there in 2010. Officials, however, denied us- age of Improvised Explosive Devices by the red ultras. A “good number” of weapons that belonged to the security forces were looted by the Maoists, they said. The encounter has heralded the first major Tactical Counter Offensive Campaign (TCOC) operation which is conducted by Maoists to gain ground every summer.
