According to the officials, the ED wants to question Sahu and record his statement in relation to his alleged connections with Soren and a luxury car that the agency seized from the JMM leader’s residence in Delhi during searches last month.

The party also decided to launch the ‘Gaon Chalo’ campaign from February 4 to 11 in a bid to ensure victory in all the 14 Lok Sabha seats, the official said.
A circular issued by the state government dated January 21 read that on the occasion of ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of the idol of Lord Ram on January 22 all government offices, public banks will remain closed till 2:30 pm.

The minimum temperature is expected to start increasing from January 15 onwards, rising by two to three degrees Celsius.
