CM Vishnu Deo Sai Says – “Naxalism Is on Its Last Breath; State Committed to Its Complete Elimination by March 31, 2026”
Raipur, In another major breakthrough in the fight against Naxalism, security forces in Chhattisgarh have achieved a significant success. In Bijapur district, 9 Maoists, including one carrying a bounty of ₹24 lakh, surrendered today. In a separate incident, another Maoist was neutralised during an encounter.
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said this reflects the image of a changing Bastar — where guns are being lowered and the voice of development is rising. He added that this success is a result of the indomitable courage of security forces and the strong leadership and guidance of Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, who holds the record for serving the longest tenure as India’s Home Minister.
CM Vishnu Deo Sai further said that Shri Amit Shah’s tenure has marked an era of internal security in India that has made the impossible possible. Be it the historic abrogation of Article 370 or the decisive blows dealt to Naxalism and terrorism, he has consistently steered the nation towards becoming a safe, strong, and confident republic.
Since December 2023, Chhattisgarh has witnessed the neutralisation of around 450 Maoists, 1,579 arrests, and nearly 1,589 surrenders. These figures are clear evidence that Naxalism in the state has entered its final phase.
The Chief Minister made it clear that the Chhattisgarh Government is fully committed to eliminating Naxalism from the state by March 31, 2026, in alignment with the vision of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah.
CM Vishnu Deo Sai also instructed administrative officers to accelerate the rehabilitation process of surrendered Maoists and ensure their integration into the mainstream of society.
He extended his congratulations to the security forces, intelligence agencies, and administrative teams for this success and said, “Bastar is now moving from darkness to light. Development will be its new identity.”
