Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited Chhattisgarh from December 13 to 15, 2024, to review the ongoing anti-Naxal operations. This visit followed a high-level meeting on anti-Naxal operations held in August. Shah presided over a security review meeting and spent a night at a security forces' forward base in Bastar. He highlighted the success of the state BJP government in addressing the Naxalite insurgency, noting that 90 Maoists were killed, 123 arrested, and 250 surrendered under the current regime. Since August 25, 66 Maoists were killed, 177 surrendered, and 195 were arrested, with significant operations in Dantewada, Narayanpur, and Sukma. Bastar's Inspector General of Police, P Sundaraj, emphasized the impact of well-coordinated operations in former Naxal strongholds. Shah's visit coincided with increased anti-Left-Wing Extremism operations, aiming to dismantle the insurgency and restore peace. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai briefed Shah on the ongoing efforts, with 207 Maoists killed in Chhattisgarh in 2024, a significant rise from the previous year.
