The combing operation is seen as a major success even though some rebels managed escape in the darkness. A meeting was held at the DGP Camp office hereMonday to chalk out anti-Maoist strategies. A coordination meeting will be held June 8 to intensify the anti-Maoist operations across the state, sources said.
