Centre has warned that exemplary punishment will be given to the anti-talks faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland – NDFB. The group has claimed responsibility for the killing of 22 innocent civilians in Assam between 8th and 10th of this month. Strongly condemning the atrocities committed by this faction, Home Minister P. Chidambaram said in New Delhi today that some arrests have already been made. Security forces have been asked to take stern action against the perpetrators of the crime. Addressing a Press conference he said Centre has convened a meeting of Development Commissioners of nine Naxal-affected states on Friday on implementation of the integrated action plan announced recently for sixty districts. He said, the government intends to fast track the implementation of the 1500 crore rupee plan and hoped that concrete results will be delivered before the 31st March next year. The Minister hoped that this will help in stepping up development in these areas through the construction of school buildings, Panchayat Ghars, Anganwaris, bore-wells and other infrastructure. He hoped that the CPI Maoists will not destroy them. The Home Minister said there has been no let up in the attacks by the CPI Maoists. 62 civilians and eleven security personnel were killed this month alone in 135 incidents. He said that naxalites are continuing to target infrastructure and more than 30 buildings including Panchayat Bhavans, roads and police stations and schools were attacked. Chidambaram said that there has also been no response to the government's offer for talks if they abjure violence. The Home Minister said that India's capacity to deal with challenges to its security is better than it was two years ago. He said that several important steps have been taken during this period and the implementation has gathered pace despite the usual administrative bottlenecks. He expressed the confidence that the scenario will even be better in future.
