A high-level delegation of senior congress leaders headed
by BPCC President Ramjatan Sinha called on Chief Minister
Rabri Devi and requested her to draw up an action plan to curb
violence and effectively deal with abductors and anti-socials
who were out to sully Bihar's image.
Talking to reporters after the meeting, Sinha said the CM
was told about the need for giving a free hand to Director
General of Police D P Ojha to effectively counter crime and
her response was "quite positive."
The delegation members also demanded immediate replacement of ineffective police officials, particularly in sensitive areas and stringent action initiated against concerned officials if they failed to check crime.
