India Unveils 10-Point Plan to Achieve Naxal-Free Status by March 2026

The Indian government has developed a 10-point plan aiming to achieve a 'Naxal-free' nation by March 2026. The strategy focuses on stabilizing districts previously affected by Left-Wing Extremism through enhanced development, improved delivery of government schemes, and a shift from conflict-driven security to long-term peace maintenance led by state police. It also targets disrupting Maoist networks in urban areas. Key challenges include addressing poverty, employment, education, health, and governance gaps to prevent resurgence of violence.
