8 districts selected for 'strong' anti-Naxal action

The Centre has selected eight districts — two each in Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa — for launching a "strong anti-Naxalite action"in a holistic manner.

The selection of districts was made on the basis of violence levels and other considerations like contiguity, geographical location and topographical condition, sources said.

The decision was taken in the wake of a National Security Council meeting last month to review the Naxalite situation and a follow-up meet under the NSA.
