Palamu, Sept 27 (ANI): Villagers were upbeat with the government’s decision to open a block (district-subdivision) office in the Maoist-infested Palamu district of Jharkhand. People of Palamu district were thrilled because the development funds of the government would come directly to their village and their administrative works could be addressed easily. The government sees development as a central plank of its efforts to wean people away from the Maoists who have operated in a vacuum of official neglect that has fuelled distrust of the authorities.
