Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh Monday said the attack on CRPF personnel in Sukma shows Naxals’ cowardice and assured that the injured jawans will be provided all possible help. “I pay my condolences to families of martyred personnel and those who have been injured in the attack. All possible help will be provided to injured jawans,” Singh said.

The attack on jawans in Sukma shows Naxals’ cowardice, he said. Singh, who was in the national capital to attend some programmes, cut short his visit and went back to Raipur. He was scheduled to leave from here tomorrow.
