In a bid to help states to coordinate their campaign against Naxals, the Centre has convened a crucial meeting of four Maoist-affected states --West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar and Jharkhand -- in Kolkata on Tuesday.
West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren will attend the meeting, which will be chaired by Home Minister P Chidambaram.
The meeting will review at length the strategy adopted to deal with Maoists in the three states and coordination among them as the Naxals often flee from one state to another after committing a crime, official sources said. |
