Naxal affected state’s CM to meet on june 5
New Delhi: Chief Ministers of Naxal-affected states will meet in Delhi on June 5 to formulate strategy on how to check unabated violence by Maoists and tackle the menace.
Chief Ministers of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal will discuss threadbare the issue with Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and other top security officers.
The renewed effort for the all-out offensive against the Maoists is necessitated following killing of 27 people, including Congress leaders, by Naxals in Jagdalpur on May 25.
“There is inter-border movement of Maoists. This is such terrain – Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha – where there is poor communication. So, they often sneak into another state from one state. Our aim is to intensify the operations with close coordination of state forces as well central forces,” a source said.
