NEW DELHI: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday urged the Centre to provide more Central forces to the State for carrying out anti-naxalite operations.
Mr. Kumar who called on Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil here also wanted the proposed training centre for Central Reserve Police Force in Bihar to be started at the earliest.
Talking to reporters, the Chief Minister said he had also demanded the setting up of a disaster management institute in Bihar as it faced the twin problems of drought and flood.

The State Government had allotted land for the proposed CRPF training centre. He had asked the Centre to take follow-up steps. The Chief Minister said the Home Minister had assured him that the demands would be seriously considered.
The law and order situation in the State was also discussed and the Chief Minister apprised Mr. Patil of the steps being taken by his Government to check crime. He informed him about the constitution of a Special Auxiliary Police Force.
