New Delhi: The elimination of Naxalites from the country is certain. The dominance of Naxalites has ended in the long-running campaign, now it is the turn of the final attack. The Union Home Minister has also set its deadline – March 2026. The Modi government has decided that after March 2026 there will be no such thing as Naxalism in the country. This is the reason why the central security forces have geared up to meet this deadline. According to the plan, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has deployed additional 4,000 soldiers in South Bastar of Chhattisgarh. It can be called the last bastion of left wing extremism.
Four more battalions of CRPF reached Bastar
Recently four battalions of CRPF in Jharkhand and Bihar were ordered to leave their stations to crack down on the last strongholds of the Maoists. In the last few years, counter-operation has been carried out here based on intelligence and left wing extremism has been dealt with to a large extent. Now 4,000 personnel of the army, which has achieved success in Jharkhand-Bihar, have been sent to South Bastar, which has significantly increased the strength of a large number of battalions fighting the Maoists there.

FOB also played a role in the elimination of Naxalites
Three battalions from Jharkhand have been brought to South Bastar, while one battalion is coming from Bihar. The CRPF has built more than 100 Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) in places that were once strongholds of the Maoists and were beyond the reach of the administration. A CRPF source told our sister newspaper Times of India (TOI) that 10 Forward Operating Bases have been built in South Bastar so far this year. After the Forward Operating Base is built, the administration moves forward to extend the benefits of government schemes to the nearby villages.
Left wing extremism is on its last legs
This strategy is proving to be effective. Local people are getting the benefits of development and social sector. Due to this, they are starting to get away from the influence of left wing extremists. Recently, on his visit to Raipur, Shah had declared a deadline of March 2026 to end Naxalism in the country. For this, he stressed the need for a 'strong and ruthless' action plan. In the first Parliament session of Modi Government 3.0, a question was raised in the Lok Sabha on Naxalism. According to the answer given by the Home Ministry, incidents of left wing violence in the country have decreased by 73% from the high level of 2010. There has also been an 86% reduction in the deaths of civilians and security forces in 2023 compared to 2010.
