In the backdrop of the recent naxal attack in Aurangabad which claimed the lives of five security personnel on Wednesday night, Congress leader Jagdambika Pal said the Bihar Government should take responsibility for people's safety and maintain law and order in the state.
"The recent incidents in Bihar like the Bodh Gaya blast or the naxal attack on policemen who were killed in Aurangabad, the Bihar government needs to consider the proposal by National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and also steps should be taken by the State Government on various inputs given by the Centre," Pal said.
Five security personnel, including three policemen and two security guards, were killed on July 17 when armed Maoists attacked them during the construction of a tunnel in Bihar's Aurangabad district.
According to television reports, the encounter started yesterday when a police contingent reached the spot for reinforcement on getting the information about the attack, following which the Maoists fired at the security personnel who retaliated.
Further details are awaited.
