Nayagarh district is one of the 30 districts of Odisha state in eastern India. It was created in 1992[citation needed] when the erstwhile Puri District was split into three distinct districts, namely Khurdha, Nayagarh and Puri.
Maoist attacks
The district is currently a part of the Red Corridor.[1] On 15 February 2008, a number of police facilities across the district came under attack from maoist rebels resulting in the death of 13 police officers and 1 civilian. During the raid, the rebels stole a number of weapons.[2] Targets of the attack were the police training school, the police armoury and a police station. The fighting lasted about one and a half hours.[3]
