Indian sand artist Sudarshan Patnaik gives the finishing touches to a sand art sculpture created by him appealing for the release of two Italian tourists, on a beach in Puri, at the eastern Indian state of Orissa, March 20, 2012. Maoist guerrillas responsible for kidnapping two Italians in a remote region of Orissa repeated their demand for troops to halt counter-insurgency operations against them on Monday as authorities said they wanted to negotiate the men's release.
