CRPF’s Unyielding Stand: Dismantling the Naxal Stronghold

Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced the near eradication of Naxalism in India, crediting the CRPF for its pivotal role. He pledged that by March 31, 2026, Naxalism, now confined to four districts, will be completely eliminated, recognizing the sacrifices of CRPF personnel in maintaining national security.

In a decisive statement, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced the nearing elimination of Naxalism in India, highlighting the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) as the mission's backbone.

Addressing the CRPF's 86th Raising Day event in Madhya Pradesh's Neemuch district, Shah affirmed the decline of Naxal activity, thanks to CRPF's extensive efforts. These efforts have confined Naxalism to a mere four districts, significantly reducing violence in afflicted areas by over 70%.
