New Delhi:Union Home Minister Amit Shah urged all Naxals to surrender, declaring that the government’s goal is to eradicate left-wing extremism nationwide by March 31, 2026.
In a series of posts about X, Cobra Commando and Chhattisgarh police arrested 22 armed cadres in multiple operations in the Bijapur region, while 11 militants laid down their weapons in the Badesetti Panchayat in Sukma, making the area “completely free”. Tally, who was the day, will recently surrender to 33 in Sukma.
The minister wrote: “I call on the hidden Nassars to put down their weapons as soon as possible and join the mainstream…We are determined to lift the country out of the scourge of Nassarism by March 31, 2026.”
Shah said on Thursday during a CRPF raising date in Neemuch, Madhya Pradesh that the rebellion now hovered in just four areas. He attributed the violence of more than 400 long-term operation bases established by the CRPF, especially its guerrilla binocular battalion, which saw a 70% drop in violence and asserted that the security forces were “nearly over.”
The Ministry of the Interior’s surrender and rehabilitation policies provide monetary assistance, housing and career support to former cadres who abandon weapons. Officials say a new appeal will be filed ahead of this summer’s anti-Naxal operation.
As local security forces reported ambushes and narrowed their rebel footprint, the center hopes to meet the 2026 deadline set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to welcome the “Naxal Free India”.
