New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday highlighted India’s progress in eliminating Naxal-Maoist insurgency, stating that the nation is now on the verge of being free from decades of internal terror. Addressing the public, he said, “Before 2014, around 125 districts of the country were affected by Maoist violence. Due to a decade of persistent efforts, this number has reduced significantly. Now, out of 125, only 11 districts still show some influence of Maoists, and among these, the actual areas of impact are limited to just 3 districts. For the first time, more than 100 districts are completely free from Maoist terror, breathing in the open air.”

PM Modi emphasized the transformation this has brought to previously affected regions, noting, “People, for the first time, are emerging from fear and oppression and becoming part of the mainstream of development. In areas where Maoist-Naxal insurgents used to block roads, prevent schools from opening, stop hospitals from being built, destroy functioning schools, and even attack doctors and hospitals, highways are now being constructed, new industries are coming up, and schools and hospitals are shaping the future of local children.”
