Emphasising on the strategy against Left Wing Extremism (LWE), Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday (April 1, 2025) said the number of affected districts have been reduced from six to 12.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Mr. Shah said, “Taking a giant stride towards building a Naxal-free Bharat, today our nation achieved a new milestone by significantly reducing the number of districts most affected by left-wing extremism to just 6 from 12. The Modi government is building a Sashakt, Surakshit and Samriddh Bharat with a ruthless approach to Naxalism and relentless efforts for all-pervasive development.
Bharat is determined to uproot Naxalism for good by 31st March 2026,” Mr. Shah said.
Mr. Shah in January said Maoists will be eradicated by March 31, 2026 and no citizen of the country has to lose his life due to it.
