More guards have been provided to Finance Minister Prafulla Chandra Ghadai and Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Minister Chaitanya Prasad Majhi, a police official said.

"The intelligence wing gathered information about the threat a month ago when some extremists arrested in the state were being interrogated," a police officer told IANS Saturday.

Majhi admitted he had been asked to take precaution while traveling in his constituency in Mayurbhanj district, where Maoists last month murdered a forest official and burnt his office.
