Jharkhand Chief Secy condemns torching of vehicles
Chief Secretary Sajja Chakraborty today said Naxalites’ act of
torching two election campaign vehicles in Sonua was an “attempt to
build up psychological pressure on police” ahead of second phase of the
five-phased state polls slated for December 2. Chakraborty said, “It is a
futile attempt by the ultras to build up psychological press on the
police force” but the security personnel are alerted and engaged in
anti-naxal operation.
Chakraborty was in the district headquarter of insurgency-affected
West Singhbhum, where he held a meeting with senior police officials
including IG (Zonal) M S Bhatia, IG (Ops) Rezi Dungdung, DIG (Kolhan) Md
Nehal and Superintendent of Police N K Singh, among others. “We are
committed to hold a free and fair poll in the state and confident that
the people will turn out in large number,” he said. We have deployed
five times more security personnels this time compared to what we had in
the last parliamentary poll, he said adding that will be adequate and
tight security arrangement across the state.
He said anti-naxal operation was going on in the naxal-infested area
and security personnel are prepared to meeting any eventuality during
the poll. Chakraborty also directed the officials to take immediate
measures to plug the loopholes in the security arrangement if there was
any. We have intensified patrolling in the bordering areas with the
neighbouring states, he added. Earlier, suspected naxals had torched two
vehicles engaged in election campaigning at Kuira village under Sonua
police station on Tuesday. While one vehicle belonged to Congress party
candidate, another was government vehicle.
