Saddened by the killing of 12 CRPF personnel in a Maoist encounter at Sukma, Chattisgarh, Rajnath Singh has declared that he will not play Holi on Monday, a Home Ministry spokesperson said.
The attack on the security forces killed 12 CRPF personnel and their arms were looted. Home Minister had visited Raipur on Sunday where he paid respect to the departed souls. The Home Minister has described the attack on CRPF personnel as “cowardly act” and said their sacrifices won’t go in vain.
The incident occurred at 9.15 AM in the dense forests near Kottacheru village under Bhejji police station, around 450 km away from the state capital, when 112 personnel of CRPF’s 219th battalion were out for a road opening task.
