The Border Security Force (BSF) would provide two bulletproof boats for patrolling in the cutoff areas in Odisha in three to four months. This would not only intensify patrolling in the areas but also help in anti-Maoist operations, said BSF DG KK Sharma after making a courtesy call on Odisha DGP KB Singh here on Wednesday.

The discussions were held on the Maoist situation in the State, exchange of information between the police and the BSF, deployment and maximum utilisation of the Paramilitary force for anti-Maoist operations. BSF Additional DG Arun Kumar, IG Ashwini Kumar Singh, State Intelligence Director Sunil Ray and IG (Operations) RP Koche and DIG Santosh Bhol were among others, present at the meeting.
