Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh on Wednesday paid homage to the security men who were killed when Maoists sprang a deadly ambush on Tuesday.

Fifteen security men and a civilian were killed when Maoists launched their biggest attack on security forces in three years in a thickly-forested area of Chhattisgarh.

Shinde arrived here early Wednesday and left for Jagdalpur with Raman Singh.

Meanwhile, Singh refused to tender his resignation in the wake of the attack, saying Naxalism poses a challenge to the nation and the Maoist attack could not be seen from a political point of view.

Over 200 guerrillas ambushed with indiscriminate fire and bomb attack a patrol of 50-55 men from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and state police on a remote stretch of a forested road in Gheeram Ghati in Sukma district, about 500 km south of Raipur in the Bastar region.
