Nayagarh district is one of the 30 districts of Odisha state in eastern India. It was created in 1st April 1993[1][citation needed] when the erstwhile Puri District was split into three distinct districts, namely Khordha, Nayagarh and Puri.
The district is bordered by Khordha district to the south and east, Cuttack district to the east and north, Angul district to the north, Boudh district to the northwest, Kandhamal district to the west and Ganjam district to the southwest.
Maoist attacks
The district is currently a part of the Red Corridor.[2] 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.[3] 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.[4]
