Union Home Minister Amit Shah has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to rooting out naxalism by March 2026. Shah made this promise at the closing ceremony of the Bastar Olympics 2024 in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh.
The vow comes after a recent Naxal attack in Bastar killed nine people. Shah said the central and state governments are committed to abolishing naxalism, bringing peace to the region.
Naxalism has been a big problem in the Bastar region, causing violence and instability. The government has been working tirelessly to address the root cause of naxalism, including a lack of access to education and employment opportunities.
Shah stated that the government will use a combination of security measures and development programs to eradicate Naxalism. However, experts have cautioned that the goal will require a lot of attention and coordination from both the state and central governments.
As the government gears up to tackle Naxalism, all eyes are on Amit Shah’s deadline of March 26. It remains to be seen if the government will be able to succeed in this task of bringing peace to the Bastar region.
