West Bengal police Wednesday held a meeting to prepare blueprint for anti-Maoist operations in three western districts of the state, an officer said.

'We have chalked out plans to carry out the Operation Green Hunt. We have prepared a blueprint for the anti-Maoist drive in all three districts of West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia,' West Midnapore Superintendent of Police Manoj Verma told IANS.

State Director General of Police Bhupinder Singh attended the meeting.

According to police sources, police and paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force would seal the state's border with Jharkhand's East Singhbhum and Orissa's Mayurbhanj district while carrying out the operations.

'Both Jharkhand and Orissa borders would be sealed so that no Maoist escapes to neighbouring states,' a police source said.
