According to The Hindu, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren recently urged the Centre to waive ₹13,300 crore dues for CRPF deployment in anti-Maoist operations, impacting development schemes.
The request was made in a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. This comes after several instances of wall collapses at CRPF centres in India, including a recent incident in Hyderabad during heavy rain.
