The Government has said that the number of districts most affected by Naxalism have been brought down to three from six. Now only Bijapur, Sukma and Narayanpur in Chhattisgarh are the most affected districts by Left Wing Extremism-LWE. In a statement, the Ministry of Home Affairs said that these numbers showcase a giant stride towards the Narendra Modi government’s determination of building a Naxal-free Bharat.

 

 

It said, this year, the operational successes have surpassed all previous records wherein three hundred twelve LWE cadres have been eliminated. It said that more than eight hundred LWE cadres have been arrested and more than one thousand six hundred shunned the path of violence by surrendering to join the mainstream.

 

 

The Ministry said that under the Modi Government, by rigorous implementation of National Action Plan and Policy, government is committed to completely eradicate Naxal menace by 31st March 2026.
