Union Home Minister P Chidambaram will make an on-the-spot assessment on Wednesday and review the situation in Chhattisgarh after Naxals carried out the deadliest attack and killed 76 CRPF personnel.
Chidambaram, who left for Raipur Wednesday morning, is expected to meet Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh and other senior security officials, sources said.
An AN-32 aircraft has been sent to bring the bodies back after the biggest ever Naxal strike in the nation killed 76 CRPF jawans on Tuesday. The attacks came just two days after the Union Home minister said Naxals were focusing on low intensity strikes.
Even as the Union Home Secretary insists there wasn't any intelligence failure, Chidambaram says the Operation Greenhunt will continue.
On Tuesday 76 CRPF personnel, who appeared to have walked into the Naxal's "trap", were killed when they were literally caught sleeping in the Mukrana forests of Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh, one of the strongholds of the Naxals.
