including 668 in Maoist-hit Jhargram police district and
infrastructure for three CBI courts.

Commerce and Industries minister Partha Chatterjee
briefing reporters after a cabinet meeting said that of the
6,900 posts in the Home (police) department, 1,740 would be
recruited in the first phase.

set up this month and another in December, the minister said.

Chatterjee said that the state government felt that
there was scope for expansion in the working of the CBI in the
state.

He said that 700 new posts would be created in the
Finance department which would help increase revenue
collection and strengthen infrastructure.

The committee, he said, would find out lapses and
explore the scope of expansion and enforce financial control.
