In a related development, Amit Shah has asserted that the Central government will intensify the fight against Naxals.
Addressing CRPF personnel during his visit to the Basguda CRPF camp in Chhattisgarh`s Bijapur district two days after a deadly attack by the home-grown rebels, Shah said, “Our jawans fought with immense courage. Be assured that the sacrifices of your colleagues will not go in vain, have faith in the Government of India and the Chhattisgarh government.”
