Karnataka CM asks police to curb terrorism and Naxal menace

Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa today asked the state police to curb terror groups and Naxal menace which was on the rise.

Speaking at the Police Commemoration Day Parade here, he asserted that terror groups, anti-national elements, Naxals as well as foreign nationals, who stay back despite expiry of their visas, should be dealt with an "iron hand".

Yeddyurappa said the government would offer its "full support" to the police force in tackling crime which was on the "rise". The department should ensure that anyone who violates the law is brought to book.

Yeddyurappa lauded the efforts made by the police during recent devastating floods that left 229 dead.
