And a day after the attack on Silda EFR camp, the Governor today called up top officials of the state government, including Home Secretary Ardhendu Sen, Director General of Police Bhupinder Singh and Additional Director General (IB) Noparajit Mukherje, and discussed the Naxalite threat and how it could be tackled.
This is the first major meeting the Governor had with senior officials of the state to discuss as serious an issue as the Naxalite problem.
“The Governor wanted to know what had actually happened and what actions we have taken. We have given him all the details. I cannot tell you anything more,” the DGP told The Indian Express.
According to sources, the Governor is in constant touch with the top brass of the state police inquiring about the operations going on against the Naxalites.
Earlier in the day the Governor had issued a statement condemning the attack on Silda camp and offering his condolences to the bereaved families.
“The Governor reiterates the commitment of the government to deal effectively with the problems existing in this belt and to restore normalcy which is essential for the socio-economic development of the masses. He is confident that the government forces, with the help of the locals, can defeat the evil intentions of the Left wing extremists,” the statement said.
