Special Correspondent, The HinduBHUBANESWAR: A three-member team of Central Ministers on Tuesday visited Orissa’s Kandhamal district to take stock of the situation in the areas affected by communal violence. The team advised the administration to hasten the peace process in the riot-hit district.
The team that comprised Union Agriculture Minister , Social Justice Minister Meira Kumar and Tribal Affairs Minister P.R. Kyndiah visited a relief camp in Raikia and spoke to Christian families living there since August.
Most of those with whom the Ministers interacted expressed their willingness to return to their homes but said they were still at the camp as they apprehended attacks from the majority community.
The Ministers also inspected the facilities at the camp. The refugees handed over a memorandum listing various demands, including measures to restore peace. more
