The meeting was held in connection with the growing Naxal menace in the neighbouring states.

It is believed that security arrangement of the naxal-affected areas in Eastern UP adjacent to the border of Bihar, Chhatisgarh and Jharkhand was reviewed in the meeting.

The authorities chalked out a strategy to push back and crack down on the Naxals sneaking into East UP after committing crime in neighbouring states.

DIG of Inter State Border Force SN Sabat, IG (CRPF) Vikram Saigal and Joint Director of IB Amitabh Ranjan participated in the meeting.
