End Of The Line For Maoism By March 2026? Amit Shah Sets Big Target

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has set March 2026 as the target to finish Maoist activities in India and said “A strong and ruthless strategy is required for launching the last assault against such groups.”

The Home Minister is in Chhattisgarh and addressed a press briefing in Raipur. Mr Shah said he reviewed the situation of Left Wing Extremism in the state along with Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and senior central and state police officers. He urged the Maoists to surrender and announced that the Centre would start a “new look” surrender policy in the next two months.

“A strong and ruthless strategy is required for launching the last assault against Maoists,” he said. The home minister said Maoist violence is a challenge to democracy and the menace has claimed about 17,000 lives in the country.
