Nitish urges Manmohan to intervene

PATNA: Apprehending a backlash if the killing of migrant workers in Assam was not immediately contained, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday sought an intervention by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to instil confidence among the people.

"I am afraid that the situation, if not contained immediately in Assam, may lead to backlash in many parts of Bihar," Mr. Kumar said in a letter faxed to Dr. Singh.

He drew Dr. Singh's attention to the `extremely grim' situation in Assam, and said according to information, around 61 labourers from Bihar had lost their lives. — PTI
