No let up in ops against Maoists: Police

The resolve of Jharkhand Police to root out Maoists has not been distracted from the ongoing pursuit against the suspects of Patna and Bodhgaya blasts in coordination with the National Investigation Agency, a top police officer said today.

"There is no let-up in the anti-Maoist operations," Additional Director General of Police (Law & Order) S N Pradhan said here.

He said operations against the Maoists were in place while the state police were assisting the NIA with Inspector General of Police (Organised Crime) Sampat Meena being the nodal officer between the state police and the NIA.

20 of the 24 districts in Jharkhand are Naxal-hit.
