Union Home Minister Amit Shah has reportedly ‘kept aside’ the demand of Jharkhand Chief Minister to “waive ₹13,299.69-crore dues in lieu of deployment of CRPF for carrying out anti-Maoists operations in the State.”

“We don’t know anything about the response of the Honourable Minister”, said a senior officer who was posted in the Union Home Ministry.
