Valour of security forces and people’s trust have become the strength of Naxal elimination: CM Sai
Raipur : Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai congratulated the CRPF’s Cobra Commandos, Chhattisgarh Police and DRG personnel for their major success on the Naxal front in Gariaband and Narayanpur districts.
In the encounter that took place in Gariaband district, as many as 10 Naxalites have been neutralised so far. Among them is Modem Balakrishna alias Manoj, a Central Committee Member carrying a reward of ₹1 crore. This is being seen as a historic achievement in the campaign to eliminate Naxalism.
In the same sequence, Naxalites in Narayanpur district have also chosen the path of surrender. A total of 16 Naxalites — including a Janatana Sarkar member, a Panchayat Militia Deputy Commander, a Panchayat Sarkar member and the head of the Judicial Branch — have surrendered and pledged to return to the mainstream of society.
Chief Minister Sai said these incidents are clear proof that the false ideology of Naxalites is now collapsing. “A new dawn of trust, development and peace is rising in Chhattisgarh. With the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and under the leadership of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, we are confident that the resolve of a ‘Naxal-Free India’ will be realised by March 2026,” he stated.
