Published on: 

Director of Reasonable Enterprises Pvt Ltd cum category A contractor of Jharkhand Mumtaz Ahmad Khan alias Bastee Mumtaz of Palamu district has urged State DGP M V Rao to order to restore his two police armed guards which stand withdrawn in this Covid 19 saying that naxal keeps calling him to settle the issue of levy.

Khan said, “On Sunday I spoke to the DGP and urged him to help me with two armed police guards now withdrawn in the wake of Covid 19 but at the same time threat to my life and properties of the firm continues to be high due to sudden enhanced activities of the extremists and one naxal keeps calling me recently.”

Khan said, “The DGP asked me to contact SPs of the concerned districts, when I told him that our firm has bridge construction works in districts like Palamu, Latehar, Ranchi, Gumla and everywhere I and our firm partners are to visit to see the progress of the work and also to interact with labourers there that puts everyone of us at great risk to life.”

Khan further said “ I have informed all these SPs of these districts in this regard but nothing tangible has come so far except Palamu where its SP Ajay Linda has written back to me “I shall look into it.”
