Home Ministry monitoring situation

NEW DELHI: The Union Home Ministry on Saturday sought a detailed report from the Jharkhand government on the Maoist attack in Giridih district in which 18 persons were killed.

Soon after getting the report about the incident, in which the son of the former Chief Minister, Babulal Marandi, was also killed, Special Secretary (Internal Security) in the Home Ministry M. Kumawat spoke to the State police chief.

“The Home Ministry is closely monitoring the situation and is in constant touch with the State government,” an MHA spokesman said.

Sources in the Ministry said the Jharkhand government had sought help from Bihar to prevent the culprits from sneaking into that State.

They said CRPF personnel had cordoned off the area for carrying out a combing operation. — PTI
