CHIDAMBARAM 2

In Jharkhand too, the naxalites are on the rampage. A
few days ago they kidnapped a revenue official who was
released on Friday after extracting a price from the state
government.
In the Feb 9 meeting, Bihar was represented by its Home
Secretary and the DGP while Jharkhand deputed its two deputy
Chief Ministers and senior officers. Both the states presented
their cases and sought more para-military forces and other
assistance from the Centre.
The Naxal Management Division of the Union Home
Ministry examined the plans of the two states and is said to
be ready with its response.
However, the sources said, Chidambaram wants to be
reassured that the two Chief Ministers fully endorse the plans
presented by their officials and are on the same page as the
Central Government.
He is said to be of the feeling that without a clear
commitment by the two Chief Ministers it would not not be
possible to implement the plans for inter-state operations.
In his letter to Bhatacharjee, he has requested him to
visit Delhi once the date of the visit of the Jharkhand Chief
Minister is finalised. (More) PTI
