A Maoist camp was busted by CRPF personnel during combing operations in a forest near Bhainsadani under the Boden police station in Nuapada district on Thursday.
The CRPF personnel seized two pistols, 32 gelatin bombs, 27 detonators, bullets and gun powder from the spot.
It is suspected that the Red rebels were planning something big as they had stockpiled arms and ammunition which is enough to spread violence in the region.
A combing operation was on when the security personnel came across the rebel camp. But the Maoists managed to escape the spot after spotting the police.
Security forces are in a high alert in the area as it is suspected that Maoists might try to create disturbances during the ensuing Panchyat elections in neighbouring Chhattigarh.
