Success of Naxal operations in Chhattisgarh garnering nationwide praise: Shri Sai
Chief Minister pays surprise visit to CRPF Camp in Bastar to boost morale of security personnel fighting Naxalism
Raipur : Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai praised the CRPF jawans for their remarkable achievements in combating Naxalism over the past 11 months, highlighting that their success has garnered nationwide recognition. He acknowledged their sacrifices in the service of Bastar’s development, stating that by staying away from their families and enduring hardships, they have earned a permanent place in the hearts of the region's tribal communities. Chief Minister was addressing jawans at the Sedwa camp of the Central Reserve Police Force in Bastar district. The jawans greeted him warmly, expressing surprise and happiness at his sudden visit to the camp.
During his interaction with the jawans, Shri Sai shared, “When I visited Chitrakote for the meeting of the Bastar Area Tribal Development Authority, I was eager to meet all of you. Your significant role in the successes achieved in the Naxal operations over the last 11 months is being praised across the country. I salute your courage. Whenever I meet Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, he always mentions the progress Chhattisgarh is making in the fight against Naxalism. I would also like to acknowledge the constant guidance and support of Home Minister Shri Amit Shah in these operations."
Shri Sai pointed out that the state government’s goal of eliminating Naxalism from Bastar by 2026 is fully supported by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and Home Minister Shri Amit Shah.
Chief Minister noted that in Bastar, over 200 Naxalites have been killed in recent operations, and more than 740 Maoist cadres have surrendered, renouncing violence and reintegrating into the democratic fold. He expressed confidence that the government’s rehabilitation policies would encourage even more Naxalites to abandon violence and surrender in the future. In response to a request from the security personnel to stay overnight at the camp, Shri Sai spent the night there, further demonstrating his support for the forces.
