Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh today cut short his Delhi visit and returned to Raipur after Maoists killed at least 11 security personnel in the naxal-affected state.
Singh was in the national capital to attend some programmes and was scheduled to leave for Raipur tomorrow.
"The chief minister has curtailed his stay in Delhi and gone back. He will hold meeting with senior officials from the police and the administration on the naxal attack there," a state government official said.
At least eleven personnel of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were killed and seven others injured in a fierce encounter with Naxals in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district.
