Union Home Minister Amit Shah has reiterated the Government’s resolve to eradicate Left Wing Extremism (LWE) from the country by March 31, 2026.
In a message praising the security forces for their success in eliminating 31 Maoists in Bijapur, Chhattisgarh, the Home Minister also saluted the two brave soldiers who laid down their lives in action.
In a post on X, Home Minister Shah said: “The security forces have achieved a major success in their efforts to make India Naxal-free, with 31 Naxalites killed and a large quantity of weapons and explosives recovered in the operation.”
Highlighting the progress made over the past year or so in Chhattisgarh, Shah earlier noted the decline in Maoist activities, including the neutralisation of several of its top cadres.
“Commendable action has been taken under the leadership of the Chhattisgarh Government, utilising a well-devised strategy. I am confident that we will achieve complete elimination of LWE from the country by March 31, 2026,” he asserted.
“The combined efforts of the Chhattisgarh Government, police, and security agencies have laid a strong foundation for this campaign. I assure you all that the goal of a LWE-free state will be realised within the set timeline,” he reiterated.
