Speaking at the meeting of Chief Ministers
in New Delhi on April 16, Chief Minister Arjun
Munda demanded a special development package
for Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-hit
Latehar and Garhwa Districts in the line of
ongoing Centre-sponsored Saranda Development
Plan, reports The Times of India. "Only
development of remote areas can help fight
the menace and this is the reason I asked
for special development package for Garhwa
and Latehar like Saranda in West Singhbhum,"
said Munda. The Union Government has provided
INR 2.25 billion for development of the Saranda
region. |
