Opposition slams government over death of 9 CRPF soldiers in Sukma, Chhattisgarh

Nine CRPF soldiers were killed and three injured in an IED blast by Naxalites in Sukma, Chhattisgarh. The soldiers were travelling in an anti-landmine vehicle and were on their way to Padoli from Kistaram camp when the blast happened. Chhattisgarh CM Raman Singh attended the wreath laying ceremony of the martyred soldiers and said that the naxals are furious because the soldiers had made inroads into the naxal-dominated areas. He also said that the soldiers have been fighting the naxals bravely. The opposition questioned the central government over its “wavering”policies when it comes in to internal and external security of the country.
