West Bengal governor MK Narayanan will visit the EFR district headquarters at Salua tomorrow to take stock of the situation in the wake of an agitation there by the jawans' families after the February 15 Maoist attack at the EFR's Shilda camp.
    
"The governor will be visiting Shilda tomorrow. During his visit, he will talk to the EFR officials," Raj Bhavan sources said.
    
On February 16, nearly 400 women, including relatives of the deceased and surviving jawans, demonstrated at the Salua EFR base after state finance minister Asim Dasgupta went there to be present at the gun salute ceremony for the jawans killed in the Maoist attack.
    
Those agitating alleged that the jawans had been "forcibly" pushed to the Maoist-concentrated areas without proper training.
    
Narayanan, former national security advisor, who had strongly condemned the Shilda attack, held meetings with chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and state home secretary Ardhendu Sen, DGP Bhupinder Singh and ADG IB Naparajit Mukherjee to get details of the Shilda attack.
