CRPF withdrawn from Kandhamal

BHUBANESWAR: The last four companies of the Central Reserve Police Force personnel deployed in Kandhamal district of Orissa were withdrawn on Wednesday, according to Superintendent of Police Praveen Kumar.

More than 50 companies of the Central forces were deployed in the district when anti-Christian riots raged after Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Lakshmanananda Saraswati was killed on August 23 last.

In another development, 300 people have returned to their villages from the relief camps that were set up during the riots.

More than 1,000 people have still been living in the camps.

Meanwhile, the S.C. Mohapatra commission of inquiry that probed the riots submitted its interim report to the State government. It suggested remedial measures.
