Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], August 15 : Jharkhand Governor CP Radhakrishnan said that the state will pay the "true tributes" to the families of those who were killed in the Naxalite encounter in Chaibasa when the Naxalites are "wiped out of the state".
Speaking to reporters, the Jharkhand Governor said that he and Chief Minister Hemant Soren will work together to ensure the same.
"Chief Minister Hemant Soren and I will work together so that Naxalites are wiped out from the state. That would be the true tribute to the families of the deceased," the Governor said.
Jharkhand Governor CP Radhakrishnan said that both the Jharkhand Jaguar jawans sacrificed their lives for a peaceful cause and the state has lost great warriors.
"Both the jawans have sacrificed their lives for a peaceful cause and we have lost great warriors and a six-day-old baby has lost his father which is highly painful," the Governor said.
Speaking in disgust about the Naxalites, the Governor said, "These gangsters. I don't call them Naxalites. I don't call them terrorists. They are not fighting for the poor, they are fighting for themselves and collecting ransom. These people need to be uprooted from Jharkhand."
Jharkhand Governor C.P. Radhakrishnan, Chief Minister Hemant Soren, Chief Secretary Sukhdeo Singh, DGP Ajay Kumar Singh and other officials paid their tributes to Sub Inspector Amit Tiwari and Constable Gautam Kumar who lost their lives in the encounter with Naxalites in Chaibasa.
Two jawans of the Jharkhand Jaguar (JJ), a special unit of the Jharkhand police department lost their lives in an encounter with naxals in Chaibasa, police said on Tuesday.
According to the Chaibasa Police, "A sub-inspector and a constable of the Jharkhand Jaguar Unit lost their lives after they had an encounter with the naxals in the district's Chaibasa town last night (August 14)."
Earlier this month, an encounter with naxalites in the Kolhan area in Jharkhand led to the loss of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) constable Sushant Kumar Khuntia's life, while another constable Munna Lal Yadav sustained injuries.
"During the drive when the team was going ahead, they had an encounter with naxals. In this CRPF constable, Sushant Kumar Khuntia and Munna Lal Yadav were injured. We evacuated them but sadly Sushant Kumar lost his life. Munna Lal at present is out of danger," AV Homkar, IG Operations said.
