Intelligence Work:

Was in charge of Intelligence and Operations of Orissa Police for one year. Coordinated intelligence operation with the SIB resulted in the arrest of Subhasree Panda, wife of Sabyasachi Panda. Surveillance operation was successfully carried out leading to arrest of Gananath Patra, the main advisor of the ChasiMulia Adivasi Sangh. Intelligence based operations led to arrest and neutralising of top functionaries of the CMAS. After a long time the activities of the CMAS could be totally reduced in Narayanpatna Block of Koraput.

Due to regular operations and motivation through select operatives, large number of surrenders of cadres could be effected. Coordinated operations with the Andhra Pradesh Grey Hounds and also through independent operations by the SOG, quite a few important cadres could be neutralised. All this resulted in a substantial reduction in Naxal related violence during the period. This has been reflected in the White Paper published by the State Government.

As DGP Orissa, pursued the anti naxal operations which led to substantial reduction in naxal activities. Orissa Police achieved spectacular results including surrender of NachikaLinga of the ChasiMuliaSangh and later the apprehension of Sabyasachi Panda.

As DG CRPF coordinated anti naxal operations in all the affected states. 2015 was the best performing year for the CRPF where the CRPF casualities were substantially reduced to only 5 and the number of successful engagements went up substantially. Chattisgarh witnessed a turn around. Excellent results were achieved in Bihar and Jharkhand.
