Patna, Oct 27 (PTI) The Indian government has decided to
establish institutes imparting training on jungle warfare to
men in uniforms in India's eastern state of Bihar to take on
the ultras, a senior official has said.

"Suitable jawans from the state police and Bihar Military
Police (BMP) will receive three months' training by retired
army officials at four schools selected by the Centre in

centre which has released a sum of Rs 18.9 crore for the
