New Delhi, April 6 (Inditop.com) Terming the killing of 75 security personnel in Chattisgarh by the Maoists as an act of terror, the Congress Tuesday said “there might have been an intelligence failure and the reason for this should be ascertained”.

“This is very unfortunate that we have lost a number of precious lives of security personnel in a brutal attack. Those behind this terror attack should be firmly dealt with,” Congress spokesman Shakeel Ahmed told Inditop after 75 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers were massacred by the Maoists in the forests of Chhattisgarh.

The Congress also asked the government to take measures to prevent such attacks.
