Chhattisgarh is reducing the security cover of 116 political leaders and public representatives in the Bastar region, Home Minister Vijay Sharma said.
Each is moving down one category, from Z+ to Z, Z to Y+ and Y+ to Y, after a six-month threat review.
State Congress chief Deepak Baij, whose own cover was cut, said a fresh assessment should come first.
