PM to inaugurate chief ministers conference

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will Wednesday inaugurate a conference of chief ministers on internal security to discuss the strategy to deal with Maoist violence.

Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde will deliver the opening remarks at the day-long conference.

The meeting follows the May 25 killing of nearly 30 people by Maoists in Chhattisgarh, including senior leaders of the state Congress party.
