BHOPAL: In the midst of a hostage crisis, Chhattisgarh government has proposed names of two retired IAS officers S K Mishra and Mrs Nirmala Buch as mediators to negotiate with the Maoists for the safe release of Sukma district collector Alex Paul Menon, who is in rebel captivity since April 21. 

Chief Minister Raman Singh told reporters in Raipur "We have proposed the names of Mishra and Mrs Buch as mediators. Both the former chief secretaries have agreed to become interlocutors". 

S K Mishra is a former chief secretary of Chhattisgarh while Mrs Nirmala Buch is a former chief secretary of Madhya Pradesh. 

As far as April 25 deadline is concerned, the Chief Minister said "Maoists have agreed for talks and they have also named three mediators. Two of them have expressed their inability so far. Hence, I think the Maoists will extend the deadline", he said. 

The chief minister confirmed that CPI leader Manish Kunjam was on his way to Tadmetla forests carrying medicines as a Maoist press release released around midnight had pointed out that the abducted collector was ill and ne needed medicines. " We hope that the CPI leader would be able to deliver them to the Maoists holding the collector as a hostage", he added. 

Earlier, Prashant Bhushan, who was named as one of the mediators by the Naxals refused to mediate.
