Meanwhile, two Italian tourists, identified as Bosusco Paolo, functioning as a tour operator in Puri, and Claudio Colangelo, who were on a trekking tour on the Ganjam-Kandhamal border, were reportedly abducted by the Maoists on March 17, reports Zee News. While the Maoists claimed responsibility for the abduction through some private news channels around midnight on March 17, there are reports that the Italians may have been abducted on March 14 itself. A driver and cook who were accompanying them and their vehicle were released by the Maoists subsequently. The Maoists were yet to respond to the Odisha Government's offer of negotiations even as the deadline set by the Maoists for their 13-point demands, including immediate halt to combing operations and release of some leaders and tribals ended in the evening of March 18, it was presumed to have been extended, an unnamed senior official said. The situation was being monitored constantly by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and top officials to resolve the hostage crisis and ensure their release, sources said.
