Kolkata, December 02: Among the suggestions given by the team from the Union Home ministry to the administration in West Bengal today was the upgrading of technology and an increase in the strength of the police.
“They suggested introduction of better technology for gathering more information in Maoist-affected areas and increased manpower in the police force,” state Home Secretary Ardhendu Sen said at the conclusion of the two-day visit by the team, which did not visit trouble spots in the state, but met top officials from nine violence-affected districts here.
“Modern technology introduced in other Maoist-hit states yielded better results,” Sen said.
The team, which had three meetings with top state officials in the last two days, also called for improved coordination among police stations in Maoist-affected districts.
