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.

The Hindu had on July 19 reported that
“Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah demanding that the Centre waive ₹13,299.69-crore dues in lieu of deployment of CRPF for carrying out anti-Maoists operations in the State.”

Later, Jharkhand Information and Public Relation Department (IPRD) had also shared this information on Friday, July 18, 2025. However, it did not share the letter sent to Mr. Shah.
