New Delhi, 3 September (Kiran News): Union Home Minister Amit Shah has reaffirmed the government’s resolve to rid the country of Naxalism, declaring, “We will not rest until all Naxals have surrendered, been captured, or eliminated.” He stated that the Modi government is committed to making India Naxal-free by 31 March 2026.
Amit Shah made these remarks while honouring CRPF, Chhattisgarh Police, District Reserve Guard (DRG), and CoBRA personnel at his New Delhi residence. These forces successfully conducted ‘Operation Black Forest’ on Karreguttalu hill in Bastar, Chhattisgarh. The ceremony was attended by Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma.
Operation Black Forest was described as the largest anti-Naxal operation, lasting 19 days in the treacherous hills of Karreguttalu. Security forces achieved a historic victory by neutralising over 30 Naxals without any casualties. Shah said, “This bravery will be written in golden letters in the history of anti-Naxal operations.”
The Home Minister praised the courage of the forces, noting that despite harsh terrain, extreme heat, and constant threats from IEDs, they managed to destroy the Naxal base camp and supply chain.
Shah further stressed that the government’s goal is a complete end to Naxalism: “We will not rest until every Naxal surrenders, is caught, or is eliminated. India will be Naxal-free by 31 March 2026.” He highlighted that Naxals had deprived backward areas of development for decades, closing schools and hospitals and blocking government schemes. Now, due to successful operations, over 65 million people across affected regions are witnessing new hope.
He also assured that the government, along with the Chhattisgarh administration, is committed to fully supporting injured security personnel and their families.
