Chhattisgarh Naxalite News: In the last two months, more than 300 Maoists have surrendered in Bastar under the rehabilitation policy. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has set a target to end Maoism by 31 March 2026.
Bastar. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had announced that Maoism would be eliminated from Bastar by 31 March 2026. At the same time, in Chhattisgarh, the process of leaving the forest and returning to the mainstream under the Maoist rehabilitation policy is continuing. In the last two months, more than 300 Maoists have returned to Bastar under the rehabilitation policy. The date is getting closer, and the way Maoists are surrendering in Bastar, it seems that Maoism may be eliminated from Bastar by 31st March.
Will the Chhattisgarh government be able to live up to the statement of the Union Home Minister? Will Maoism really be eliminated from Bastar? Local 18 team talked to senior journalist Manish Gupta in Bastar on this subject. Manish Gupta said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah had set a deadline of 2024 to end Naxalism from the entire country. This was a very big announcement and at that time people were not able to understand how Naxalism would end, because Naxalites were continuously carrying out incidents. But the government, security forces and the Union Home Minister worked together, the result of which is visible towards the end of Naxalism. The government used Sama, Daam, Dand and Bheda.
At the same time, it is the result of the killing of Naxalite organization Central Secretary Basava Raju and the pressure created by the government that Naxalite commander Hidma had to shift to Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The news of Hidma’s death in Andhra Pradesh has shocked this incident. This seems to be proving as the final nail in the destruction of Naxalites. The way Naxalites are de-moralizing, conflict is arising in the organization. Now Naxalites have only one option left, they can no longer fight on the basis of force.
