Chhattisgarh Naxal attack: Shah reaches Jagdalpur to meet injured jawans

Union Home Minister Amit Shah reached Chhattisgarh this morning to review the situation following Saturday's Maoist attack in the state's Bastar region, which claimed the lives of at least 22 security personnel. He was received by Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel in Jagdalpur before he laid wreaths at the coffins of the martyred security personnel. Here are more details on this.

Details
Shah to chair meeting with CM, police officials

Shah is expected to chair a meeting at the Police Coordination Center, which will be attended by CM Baghel, senior officials of the state police, and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). He will then leave for the CRPF's Basaguda camp in Bijapur in a helicopter and interact with the officers of the force as well as the state police.
