Chief minister Naveen Patnaik today said the anti-Maoist joint operation would be launched as per plans despite a two-day bandh called by the ultras began in six states including Orissa this morning.

"Orissa government along with the Centre and other states has been making strategy to launch a joint operation against Maoists," Patnaik told reporters while replying a query on the state government's stand on joint special operation in the wake of the bandh.

Maoists began their two-day bandh in Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Bihar this morning.

Stating that the central forces required for launching the joint operation have already reached the state, he said the police personnel were also being trained to participate in the offensive.

On Maoists killing two persons yesterday demanding a halt to the proposed operation against them, Patnaik said: "They were tragic incidents."

At least three battalions (1800 personnel) of BSF have arrived in the state last week for the ensuing anti-Maoist joint operation in Orissa where five CRPF battalions have already been engaged in offensive against the rebels.

The much-publicised joint operation against Maoists is likely to start any time after first week of April, sources said.
