He pointed out that in June this year the police had provided security cover to the CSEB when it had to repair power transmission lines, which were blasted by Naxalites.
Meanwhile, accusing the Government of trying to systematically ghettoise the tribal district, Congress Legislator from Konta Kawasi Lakma said: “Instead of repairing and improving power transmission infrastructure, the Government has decided to cut off supplies in various villages. There are several villages in the area where the tribal population is still residing. And by not making efforts to improve infrastructure in the area, the Government is further alienating the tribal population.”
