Union Minister Jairam Ramesh today dismissed naxal threat and said he would continue to make field visits in pursuit of the ongoing developmental works at different places.
"I am not afraid nor any threat could stop me from visiting places where developmental works are being taken up," the Union Rural Development Minister said here.
