Chhattisgarh Nears Naxal-Free Status as Security Forces Crack Down

Left-wing extremism in Chhattisgarh is on the verge of elimination, marking a significant milestone in India’s internal security efforts. Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that the country is close to becoming Naxal-free, with security forces neutralizing several top leaders ahead of the March 31 deadline. The success has been particularly visible in the Bastar division, where an intensive strategy combining security operations and development initiatives has weakened extremist networks. Over 70 new security camps were established to strengthen ground presence, while improved access to education, healthcare, electricity, banking, and welfare schemes helped build trust among local communities. A surge in surrenders and the declining influence of extremist groups reflect the effectiveness of this multi-pronged approach. Authorities emphasize that restoring peace and ensuring development remain key to sustaining long-term stability in the region. #Chhattisgarh #Bastar #Naxalism #LeftWingExtremism #IndiaSecurity #AmitShah #BreakingNews #InternalSecurity #Development #Peace #DDIndia DD India is India’s 24x7 international news channel from the stable of the country’s Public Service Broadcaster, Prasar Bharati.
