As soon as the House met for the day, Speaker Meira Kumar expressed grief over the death of the CISF men and a driver in a Maoist ambush late evening in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh.
The members then stood in silence for a minute in memory of the security personnel.
A CISF patrol party was ambushed in Kirandul town of Dantewada by armed Maoists in which six personnel and a civilian driver were killed.
