Activists seek CBI probe into social workers murder

NEW DELHI: More than 100 eminent people from different walks of life have come together to condemn violence on social activists in Jharkhand and demand a CBI probe into the killing of Lalit Mehta and the widespread corruption in the implementation of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme. They have also criticised the report of the district administration of Palamau for its "baseless allegations' regarding Lalit Mehta's killing and the "callous' attitude of the State in dealing with corruption in the implementation of this programme.
