Two Italian tourists have been reportedly abducted by Maoists in the
Sorda area on the border of Odisha's Kandhamal and Ganjham district.
There is no official confirmation on the abduction yet. But sources say Maoists took the tourists hostage to build pressure on the state government to act on their long-standing 13 demands they made against the release of Malkangiri collector R. Vineel Krishna in February last year.
The tourists were reportedly abducted by Maoists when they were taking photographs of tribal women bathing on the riverside.
Maoists have reportedly issued a deadline to the state and Union governments to stop all combing operations in the state by Sunday evening and initiate a process of dialogue with them
