Raipur: Chhattisgarh Governor Shekhar Dutt
and Chief Minister Raman Singh on Saturday condemned the Naxal
attack in Dantewada district that left three security
personnel dead.
Dutt, in a message, said the incident showed that Naxals
were frustrated. Such acts undermined the development of the
region, he said, paying homage to the Sashastra Seema Bal
(SSB) jawans who were killed in the incident.
Chief Minister Raman Singh called the attack "cowardly"
and "disgraceful".
Expressing grief over the deaths, he said jawans'
"martyrdom" would not go to waste and the state would be soon
rid of Naxalism.
Three SSB jawans were killed and another injured when a
mini-truck carrying them was blown up in a landmine explosion
in Bastanar area yesterday.
