"It is dastardly, shocking and barbaric. Except persons with a sick mentality, everyone should condemn such incidents," Chief Secretary Asok Mohan Chakraborty told reporters in Kolkata.

He said in addition to existing measures, additional security steps have been adopted in Maoist-hit areas in the state as per the instructions given by Union Home Minister P Chidambaram during his visit.
