										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The recent wedding of rain deities in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh was a significant cultural event aimed at invoking necessary monsoon rainfall. Residents from three nearby villages collaborated to organise this unique ceremony, marking a commitment to their ancestral traditions. The deities Bhima and Bhimin, carved from the revered Mahua tree, were united in marriage to appease the god of rain, Lord Indra.</h4>
<h4>With local agriculture threatened by drought, the community of Tokapal turned to this ancient ritual as a means to seek divine intervention. The villagers, inspired by deep-rooted beliefs, assert that the marriage of these deities will help attract rain, leading to bountiful harvests.</h4>
<h4>The event mirrored the reverence typically reserved for human marriages, crafted meticulously by tribal members who shared responsibilities. Local woodcutters selected Mahua logs to create the physical representations of Bhima and Bhimin, setting the stage for a ceremonial celebration.</h4>
<h1>Cultural Participation and Community Unity</h1>
<h4>Participants in the event included both young and old from various surrounding areas, all driven by a sense of cultural preservation and community unity. Women played a vital role by gathering ceremonial items such as turmeric, local flowers, and holy oil. A beautifully decorated mandap served as a focal point for the event, showcasing the community&#8217;s commitment to their heritage.</h4>
<h4>Anointing the deities with turmeric and dressing them in festive garments, community members surrounded the mandap, embodying the spirit of extended family through vibrant participation. The ceremony included chanting by a priest, who guided the proceedings with traditional wedding hymns, reinforcing the sanctity of the occasion.</h4>
<h4>The wedding was community-funded, with a total budget of ₹10,000, illustrating the collaborative effort behind the event. Members of the Wedding Organising Committee, including Balsingh Thakur, expressed a strong belief that this sacred union would lead to forthcoming rains, crucial for local farming practices.</h4>
<h1>Spiritual Significance and Continuity of Tradition</h1>
<h4>This tradition, originating from ancient times, serves not only as a means to pray for rainfall but also as a way for the community to remain connected to their roots. Youth representative Yashpal Singh Thakur elaborated on the importance of maintaining these customs, stressing that while education holds value, honouring traditions also strengthens cultural identity.</h4>
<h4>Local resident Tarun Kumar Thakur mentioned that the role of &#8216;Sirha,&#8217; or spiritual medium, is passed down in families, playing a key part in this ritual. He shared that his son actively communicates the instructions of the deity, further deepening the family&#8217;s commitment to the beliefs surrounding the marriage of Bhima and Bhimin.</h4>
<h4>Following the ceremony, the distribution of traditional fruits and sweets marked the celebration&#8217;s conclusion. Villagers returned to their fields, united in the hope that the matrimonial blessing would soon bring relief from the prolonged dry conditions affecting their area.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The announcement by Union Home Minister Amit Shah that India is now Naxal-free marks a significant moment in the historical context of Bastar, Chhattisgarh. This region is known for its long-standing Maoist insurgency, a struggle that has claimed numerous lives and shaped the area&#8217;s socio-economic landscape. The recognition of Bastar as central to the elimination of Naxalism highlights the government&#8217;s commitment to addressing decades of violence and underdevelopment.</h4>
<h4>Bastar has been synonymous with the impact of Naxalism for years, being the site of India&#8217;s deadliest Maoist attacks, including the tragic ambush on April 6, 2010, which resulted in the deaths of 76 CRPF personnel. This history of violence has led residents to live in a state of constant fear, rendering the region emblematic of the broader conflict between state forces and Naxal insurgents.</h4>
<h4>In his declaration, Shah noted that while India achieved independence in 1947, true freedom for Bastar will only be realised by March 31, 2026. His remarks encapsulated the struggles faced by the 1.41 million residents over the last six decades and aimed to convey a message of optimism about the future of the area.</h4>
<h1>Government Initiatives Against Naxalism</h1>
<h4>The Modi government&#8217;s resolve since 2019 to establish a Naxal-mukt Bharat has resulted in intensified efforts, particularly after the BJP secured power in Chhattisgarh in 2023. Statistical data reveal that in 2024 alone, 224 Naxals were killed, while in 2025, the figure reached around 400. Over the past decade, more than 10,000 Naxals have surrendered, indicating a notable shift in the dynamics of the insurgency.</h4>
<h4>However, the terrain of Bastar, characterised by dense forests, has posed significant challenges for anti-Naxal operations. The region’s difficult geography often obscured ambushes, complicating the efforts of security forces. In total, nearly 1,300 security personnel have lost their lives in the conflict, making it one of the most hazardous regions in India.</h4>
<h4>Civilians who opposed the Naxals, or acted as informants for the police, often faced brutal reprisals, resulting in over 1,800 deaths attributed to Naxal violence from 2001 to 2024. Such conditions have contributed to the ongoing underdevelopment in the region, necessitating substantial investment to reverse economic losses.</h4>
<h1>Future Prospects and Development Agenda for Bastar</h1>
<h4>The move to affirm Bastar as a Naxal-free zone is part of a broader strategy to reposition the area as a model of stability and development. Shah&#8217;s remarks included plans to convert security camps into Jan Seva Kendras, which will serve as one-stop facilities for welfare services and digital connectivity. This shift is intended to improve accessibility to essential services, including banking and government benefits.</h4>
<h4>The Union Home Minister&#8217;s visit and the hosting of the Central Zonal Council meeting signal a new chapter for Bastar, aiming to enhance infrastructure, communication networks, and public amenities. These developments are crucial for attracting investment and promoting tourism, critical for the region&#8217;s long-term recovery and growth.</h4>
<h4>By highlighting the transition from a conflict zone to a focus of investment and development, the government hopes to change the narrative surrounding Bastar. The ongoing efforts to bolster road connectivity and public facilities reflect a commitment to improving the quality of life for its residents, thus contributing to the larger goal of national development.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on May 18 that the Bastar region in Chhattisgarh is now free from Naxal influence. Shah made this declaration during an event in Jagdalpur and noted that reaching this milestone was initially viewed as an unrealistic target when it was set in January 2024. He attributed the achievement to the dedication and efforts of security forces, stating that the goal was formally established during a closed meeting on January 21, 2024, with a completion target of March 31, 2026.</h4>
<h4>Shah expressed satisfaction at the announcement, stating, &#8220;Many said it was impossible to eradicate Naxalism from the region; now we have shown that it is possible.&#8221; He reiterated the need for ongoing development in the area to ensure the welfare of communities affected by years of violence.</h4>
<h1>Plans for Development and Rehabilitation</h1>
<h4>The Union Home Minister assured residents of Bastar that there are detailed plans in place for the rehabilitation of approximately 3,000 former Naxals who have surrendered. He emphasised the importance of integrating these individuals into mainstream society through employment opportunities. Shah declared that the eradication of Naxalism necessitates a parallel commitment to the development of the region, aiming to bring Bastar on par with other states in India.</h4>
<h4>On the same day, Shah inaugurated the Shaheed Veer Gundadhur Seva Dera Jan Suvidha Kendra, a move he characterised as significant for public service. He highlighted the establishment of facilities in Netanar village, a site of historical importance linked to martyr Veer Gundadhur, as a symbol of renewed hope and progress for tribal communities.</h4>
<h4>Shah further underscored the government&#8217;s mission to provide essential services and resources to those who had been disadvantaged during the years of Naxal rule. He noted initiatives like the &#8220;Niyad Nellanar&#8221; scheme, which aims to open affordable ration shops and primary schools in every village while ensuring access to basic amenities such as safe drinking water.</h4>
<h1>Commitment to Future Development Initiatives</h1>
<h4>Looking ahead, Shah stressed the need to maintain the momentum of development. He stated that while Naxalism may have been diminished, continued efforts are required to ensure its complete eradication. The Home Minister committed to addressing historical grievances and vowed to transform the social and economic landscape of the region over the next five years.</h4>
<h4>Shah detailed plans for transforming around 200 existing camps in the region, with intentions to establish 70 of those as Service Centres aimed at tribal welfare within the next 18 months. These centres will provide essential services such as banking, the issuance of Aadhaar and ration cards, and direct access to government benefits.</h4>
<h4>The Minister concluded by reiterating the government&#8217;s unwavering commitment to the region’s upliftment. He remarked on initiatives like the Bastar Olympics to promote sports and the Bastar Pandum programme to showcase tribal culture and heritage on an international platform. Shah urged that true development will be realised when the historic injustices inflicted by Naxalism are amended and communities thrive in a new era of peace and growth.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Recent reports indicate that a total of 170 Maoist cadres have surrendered in the Bastar Division over the past month. This includes a notable surrender from a senior cadre, DKSZCM Paparao, along with several DVCM-level members. These developments were confirmed by Inspector General of Police Sundarraj Pattilingam, who highlighted the implications of these surrenders on the region&#8217;s security situation.</h4>
<h4>In addition to the surrenders, law enforcement has reportedly recovered more than 343 weapons, including AK-47s, INSAS rifles, SLRs, BGL launchers, and light machine guns. This substantial haul has been credited with significantly diminishing the operational capabilities of the Maoist groups in the region.</h4>
<h4>The past month also saw the recovery of Rs 6.75 crore in cash and eight kilograms of gold, valued at more than Rs 12 crore. These financial recoveries are believed to evidence a weakening of the Maoists&#8217; funding channels, which have posed challenges to regional peace for years.</h4>
<h1>Mission 2026 Aims for Transformative Change</h1>
<h4>Under the initiative termed Mission 2026, Bastar is witnessing a significant transition. This programme aims at restoring peace and stability in an area long affected by violence and fear. Inspector General Sundarraj declared that the collective efforts of security forces, local administrations, and the populace are steering Bastar towards a future characterised by peace, trust, and development.</h4>
<h4>As part of the &#8216;Poona Margham &#8211; Reintegration through Rehabilitation&#8217; initiative, many former Maoist cadres are reportedly leaving behind their past of violence. Over the last 27 months, more than 2,700 individuals have been rehabilitated, demonstrating a growing commitment to restoring a peaceful environment in Bastar.</h4>
<h4>The ongoing security operations and the resurgence in surrenders are progressively dismantling the organisational framework of the Maoists. With each successful operation, the combat effectiveness of these groups appears to be increasingly compromised.</h4>
<h1>Path Towards a Naxal-Free Bastar</h1>
<h4>The collaborative approach among various stakeholders, including government entities, security forces, and the local community, is signalling a commitment to achieving a Naxal-free Bastar. The local administration and security forces have established a clear focus on this goal, aiming for an operational completion by the target date of March 31, 2026.</h4>
<h4>The efforts undertaken reflect a strategic alignment with national objectives, suggesting a broader aim for a Naxal-free India. As conditions improve, local residents are reportedly gaining increased confidence in the positive trajectory of security and development in the region.</h4>
<h4>By fostering an environment conducive to dialogue and rehabilitation, the initiatives in place are creating a pathway for long-term peace and societal recovery in Bastar. These combined efforts indicate a shifting dynamic and hold potential for a sustainable transformation in a region once marked by strife.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>केंद्रीय गृह मंत्री अमित शाह ने लोकसभा में दावा किया है कि देश में नक्सलवाद अब लगभग समाप्त हो चुका है और 31 मार्च 2026 तक इसे पूरी तरह खत्म करने का लक्ष्य हासिल कर लिया गया है। हालांकि विपक्ष और विशेषज्ञ इस दावे पर सवाल उठा रहे हैं। बस्तर समेत प्रभावित क्षेत्रों में सुरक्षा हालात भले बदले हों, लेकिन चुनौतियां अभी भी बनी हुई हैं।</h5>
<h2>सरकार का दावा ‘नक्सलवाद अब अंतिम दौर में’</h2>
<h5>लोकसभा में बयान देते हुए अमित शाह ने कहा कि नक्सलवाद अब लगभग खत्म हो चुका है और यह किसी आर्थिक या विकास की समस्या नहीं, बल्कि एक विचारधारा से जुड़ा मुद्दा है। सरकार के मुताबिक, पिछले कुछ वर्षों में सुरक्षा और विकास दोनों मोर्चों पर बड़े बदलाव हुए हैं। देशभर में सैकड़ों नए पुलिस स्टेशन, हजारों किलोमीटर सड़कें और मोबाइल टावर स्थापित किए गए हैं। सरकार का कहना है कि बस्तर जैसे इलाकों में अब स्कूल, राशन दुकानें और प्रशासनिक पहुंच तेजी से बढ़ी है।</h5>
<h2>बस्तर में बदला समीकरण ऑपरेशन और बड़ी सफलताएं</h2>
<h5>2024 के बाद से छत्तीसगढ़ के बस्तर क्षेत्र में सुरक्षा अभियानों की तीव्रता काफी बढ़ाई गई। इन अभियानों में सुरक्षाबलों को नई तकनीक, बेहतर खुफिया नेटवर्क और अधिक स्वतंत्रता दी गई। इन दो वर्षों में सैकड़ों माओवादी मारे गए, हजारों गिरफ्तार हुए और बड़ी संख्या में कैडरों ने आत्मसमर्पण किया। सरकार के अनुसार, शीर्ष नेतृत्व को भी बड़ा झटका लगा है, जिससे संगठन की संरचना कमजोर हुई है। कई बड़े नेताओं के मारे जाने या सरेंडर करने को निर्णायक मोड़ माना जा रहा है।</h5>
<h2>विपक्ष के सवाल क्या वाकई सब सामान्य?</h2>
<h5>छत्तीसगढ़ के पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री भूपेश बघेल ने सरकार के दावों को चुनौती देते हुए कहा कि नक्सलवाद के खिलाफ प्रयासों में राज्य सरकारों की भूमिका को नजरअंदाज नहीं किया जा सकता। वहीं महुआ मोइत्रा ने लोकसभा में सवाल उठाया कि अगर नक्सलवाद खत्म हो चुका है, तो बस्तर में अब भी भारी संख्या में सुरक्षा बल क्यों तैनात हैं।</h5>
<h5>विपक्ष का कहना है कि सरकार जमीनी स्थिति को लेकर पूरी सच्चाई सामने नहीं रख रही।</h5>
<h2>इतिहास नक्सलबाड़ी से ‘रेड कॉरिडोर’ तक</h2>
<h5>भारत में नक्सल आंदोलन की शुरुआत नक्सलबाड़ी से 1967 में हुई थी। यह आंदोलन धीरे-धीरे बिहार, आंध्र प्रदेश, ओडिशा और छत्तीसगढ़ तक फैल गया। 2004 में कई संगठनों के विलय से सीपीआई (माओवादी) का गठन हुआ, जिसने इसे संगठित रूप दिया। छत्तीसगढ़ का बस्तर क्षेत्र लंबे समय तक इस आंदोलन का सबसे मजबूत गढ़ बना रहा, जहां घने जंगल और सीमित सरकारी पहुंच ने माओवादियों को बढ़त दी।</h5>
<h2>आगे की चुनौती पुनर्वास, भरोसा और विकास</h2>
<h5>विशेषज्ञों का मानना है कि भले ही सशस्त्र नक्सलवाद कमजोर पड़ा हो, लेकिन सरकार के सामने असली चुनौती अब शुरू होती है। हजारों आत्मसमर्पण कर चुके माओवादियों का पुनर्वास, उन्हें समाज में स्वीकार्यता दिलाना और स्थायी रोजगार देना आसान नहीं है। इसके अलावा, स्थानीय आदिवासी समुदायों में जमीन और संसाधनों को लेकर आशंकाएं भी बनी हुई हैं। अगर विकास योजनाएं संतुलित और संवेदनशील नहीं रहीं, तो असंतोष फिर से उभर सकता है। सबसे बड़ी चुनौती उन क्षेत्रों में भरोसा कायम करना है, जहां अब पहली बार राज्य की मौजूदगी मजबूत हुई है।</h5>
<h5>सरकार के दावों के मुताबिक नक्सलवाद अब कमजोर जरूर पड़ा है, लेकिन इसे पूरी तरह खत्म मान लेना जल्दबाजी हो सकती है। जमीन पर स्थायी शांति के लिए सुरक्षा के साथ-साथ सामाजिक और आर्थिक विश्वास बहाली भी उतनी ही जरूरी है।</h5>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Rekawaya, located in Chhattisgarh&#8217;s Bastar region, is entering a transformative phase following the conclusion of a long-standing Naxalite insurgency with the introduction of the &#8220;Sushasan Express&#8221; initiative. This program, which commenced on January 1, aims to revitalize the village by focusing on education, infrastructure, and connectivity.</h4>
<h1>Educational Advancements Under &#8220;Sushasan Express&#8221;</h1>
<h4>According to Namrata Jain, the Narayanpur District Collector, the initiative has led to the reopening of ten schools and the enrollment of approximately 700 students across 24 institutions. This marks a significant shift from the previous educational management, which was influenced by Naxalite control. Jain highlighted that the government is also enhancing connectivity in the region, specifically through road and internet projects. &#8220;We are developing better schools and road connectivity. The National Highway is under construction, which will connect to Maharashtra. Enhancements in mobile and internet connectivity are also underway,&#8221; she stated.</h4>
<h1>Community Participation in Educational Development</h1>
<h4>A local resident, identified as Pradeep, acknowledged the government&#8217;s efforts to stabilize the community after the end of Naxalite activities. He explained that the schools in the village are now managed by a committee formed from 12 nearby villages, replacing the previous systems linked to the Naxal governance. &#8220;Development is beginning, but it will take time. Schools were previously operated under the Naxal Jantana government, and since then, improvements have been initiated after police camps were established in the area,&#8221; Pradeep added.</h4>
<h1>Geographical and Developmental Challenges</h1>
<h4>Rekawaya is situated approximately 150 kilometers from the Narayanpur district headquarters, posing significant accessibility challenges due to its rough terrain. The village had long been isolated, lacking basic infrastructure and facing threats posed by explosive devices and ambushes. This isolation hindered access to education and essential governmental services, resulting in prolonged hardships for the residents.</h4>
<h1>Trends in Security and Administrative Presence</h1>
<h4>The local population had historically endured dire conditions due to the stronghold of Naxalite groups, which dictated the socio-economic environment. However, recent coordinated efforts by both central and state agencies have initiated changes in the security landscape. The establishment of police camps in and around Abujhmad has considerably improved safety and security in the area, facilitating a reduction in Naxalite influence.</h4>
<h1>Infrastructure Improvements Driving Change</h1>
<h4>The construction of roads connecting Rekawaya has been a pivotal development, making the area more accessible to governmental services and administrative functions. With these advancements, gradual changes are unfolding in the village, paving the way for a more stable and progressive community. While the journey towards full restoration may take time, the &#8220;Sushasan Express&#8221; initiative serves as a cornerstone in Rekawaya&#8217;s recovery and development.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>During a discussion in the Lok Sabha on the government’s initiatives to combat Left Wing Extremism, Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted that significant strides have been made in quelling Naxal activities in the Bastar region. He stated that the Modi government has implemented several measures aimed at fostering development in areas previously affected by Naxalism. According to him, the region is now poised for growth and upliftment.</h4>
<h1>Addressing Past Neglect</h1>
<h4>While addressing the House, the Home Minister criticized the Congress party for failing to address the needs of tribal communities during its long tenure in power. He highlighted that these communities had been overlooked in terms of development, which he attributed to the &#8220;shadow of Red Terror&#8221; that had previously strangled progress in Bastar. Shah emphasized that with the decline of Naxalism, various development initiatives are now being implemented in the region.</h4>
<h1>Development Initiatives in Bastar</h1>
<h4>Amit Shah mentioned that a campaign has been initiated to establish primary schools in every village within Bastar. In addition, measures have been taken to ensure the opening of ration shops and setting up Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and Community Health Centres (CHCs) across every Tehsil and Panchayat in the region. He also noted that people have begun receiving Aadhaar cards and ration cards, with beneficiaries currently receiving five kilograms of food grains.</h4>
<h1>Critique of Opposition Parties</h1>
<h4>The Home Minister directed pointed questions at those defending Naxalism, asking why the people have not received developmental benefits in the past. He reiterated that the impediments to progress in Bastar were due to the climate created by Naxalism. Shah insisted that responsibility lies with the previous administrations, especially the Congress party, which dominated Indian politics for most of the last seventy-five years. He expressed that under the present regime, genuine development is now being realized.</h4>
<h1>Historical Context of Naxalism</h1>
<h4>Shah remarked that millions of people lived in poverty for decades as a direct result of Naxalism, leading to the loss of thousands of young lives. He articulated that the roots of Naxalism are ideological rather than solely rooted in demands for development, tracing some of its origins back to policies endorsed by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the 1970s. He elaborated that the influence of Leftist ideology contributed to the spread of Naxalism across various states in India, leading to a “Red Corridor” where the rule of law deteriorated.</h4>
<h1>The Path Forward</h1>
<h4>Amit Shah stated that twelve states have been afflicted by Naxalism, affecting demographic and social structures significantly. The Home Minister pointed out that over twelve crore people experienced poverty as a consequence of these extremist activities, which he described as a national tragedy. Emphasizing the need for accountability, Shah questioned who should be held responsible for the numerous lives affected by the violence associated with Naxalism. Earlier in the day, the Lok Sabha discussed the government&#8217;s pledge to eliminate Naxalism by the end of the current month.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Chhattisgarh government has unveiled a budget of Rs 1.72 lakh crore for the fiscal year 2026-27, emphasizing development in areas such as education, health, irrigation, digital connectivity, and employment. The presentation was made by Finance Minister OP Choudhary, marking the third budget under the theme &#8220;SANKALP.&#8221;</h4>
<h4>Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai described the budget as a robust commitment to advancing public welfare and development. The government&#8217;s aim is to elevate Chhattisgarh to a developed state by empowering essential sectors including agriculture, women&#8217;s rights, youth engagement, and labor employment.</h4>
<h1>Social Sector and Economic Initiatives</h1>
<h4>The budget allocates a significant portion for social initiatives, accounting for 40% of the total expenditure. About 36% is targeted at enhancing economic activity while 24% is dedicated to administrative and general services. Notably, a green budget of Rs 14,300 crore is designated for advancing environmental protection and sustainable development projects. The government aims to prioritize the development of Surguja, Bastar, and other historically Naxal-affected regions through these initiatives.</h4>
<h1>Transformative Steps in Education and Sports</h1>
<h4>In a significant move for the educational landscape of Bastar, the government announced plans for two &#8220;Education Cities&#8221; to be established in sensitive areas such as Abujhmad and Jagargunda, allocating Rs 100 crore for this initiative. Additionally, efforts to encourage sports and preserve cultural identity include events like the Bastar Olympics and Bastar Pandum, which aim to showcase local talent and promote a constructive regional identity. Furthermore, the creation of 1,500 new positions for Bastar Fighters is another step to engage and empower the local community.</h4>
<h1>Healthcare Initiatives for Remote Areas</h1>
<h4>Improving healthcare access in remote areas is another focus of the budget. Plans are underway to establish a super-speciality hospital in Jagdalpur, along with a medical college and a medical city in Dantewada. Recruitment drives for medical professionals will be initiated to ensure quality healthcare reaches the communities in these regions.</h4>
<h1>Investments in Irrigation and Agriculture</h1>
<h4>A major irrigation project has been proposed to construct a barrage on the Indravati River with an estimated cost of Rs 2,024 crore. This initiative is expected to boost agricultural productivity by providing irrigation facilities to an additional 32,000 hectares in the Bastar region. The government is also pledging to enhance the agricultural sector through significant financial investments. Rs 10,000 crore is earmarked for the Krishak Unnati Yojana, aimed at supporting farmers and promoting agricultural development.</h4>
<h1>Women&#8217;s Empowerment Measures</h1>
<h4>The budget includes substantial initiatives to empower women. A proposal for a 50 percent exemption on registration fees for property acquired in women&#8217;s names has been introduced, promoting financial security and property ownership. Additionally, the Rani Durgavati Yojana will provide Rs 1.5 lakh to eligible girls upon reaching the age of 18, while the Mukhyamantri Lakhpati Didi Parikrama Yojana will be launched along with plans to construct 250 Mahatari Sadans for further supporting women&#8217;s empowerment.</h4>
<h1>Healthcare Accessibility for Government Employees</h1>
<h4>The budget also includes provisions for a cashless medical scheme aimed at safeguarding the health of government employees. This scheme will allow employees to receive treatment at designated government and private hospitals without upfront cash payments, thereby facilitating easier access to healthcare. An allocation of Rs 100 crore is designated to support this healthcare initiative.</h4>

<div id="avWBGd-1575">
<h5 dir="ltr">बस्तर नक्सलमुक्ति की दहलीज पर पहुंच चुका है। सुरक्षा बलों के लगातार अभियानों से नक्सल नेटवर्क लगभग ध्वस्त हो गया है, लेकिन IED का अदृश्य खतरा अब भी शांति की राह में सबसे बड़ी चुनौती बना हुआ है। 2025 में 67 आईईडी ब्लास्ट में एएसपी सहित 12 जवान शहीद हुए हैं।</h5>
<h2 dir="ltr">नक्सल नेटवर्क लगभग ध्वस्त, 90% कैडर खत्म या आत्मसमर्पण</h2>
<h5 dir="ltr">दशकों तक नक्सल हिंसा की मार झेलने वाला बस्तर आज एक ऐतिहासिक मोड़ पर खड़ा है। केंद्रीय गृहमंत्री द्वारा तय समयसीमा के तहत 31 मार्च तक नक्सलवाद के खात्मे का लक्ष्य रखा गया है। सुरक्षा बलों की लगातार और आक्रामक रणनीति के चलते नक्सल संगठन की कमर लगभग टूट चुकी है। पुलिस अधिकारियों के अनुसार करीब 90 प्रतिशत नक्सली या तो मारे जा चुके हैं या आत्मसमर्पण कर चुके हैं। शीर्ष नेतृत्व का सफाया हो चुका है और संगठनात्मक ढांचा कमजोर पड़ गया है।</h5>
<h5>ग्रामीण इलाकों में प्रशासन की मौजूदगी बढ़ी है, सड़क निर्माण और विकास कार्यों को गति मिली है। लंबे समय बाद गांवों में शांति और सामान्य जीवन की उम्मीद जगी है। हालांकि इस सकारात्मक बदलाव के बीच एक गंभीर खतरा अब भी कायम है IED.</h5>
<h2 dir="ltr">2025 में 67 ब्लास्ट, एएसपी सहित 12 जवान शहीद</h2>
<h5 dir="ltr">नक्सल प्रभावित क्षेत्रों में वर्षों पहले बिछाए गए आईईडी आज भी जानलेवा साबित हो रहे हैं। वर्ष 2025 में बस्तर संभाग में अब तक 67 आईईडी विस्फोट दर्ज किए गए हैं। इन धमाकों में एक अतिरिक्त पुलिस अधीक्षक (एएसपी) सहित 12 जवान शहीद हुए, जबकि 46 से अधिक सुरक्षाकर्मी घायल हुए हैं।</h5>
<h5>इसी अवधि में सुरक्षा बलों ने 875 जीवित आईईडी बरामद कर निष्क्रिय किए हैं, जो इस बात का संकेत है कि जंगलों और कच्ची सड़कों के नीचे अब भी बड़ी संख्या में विस्फोटक छिपे हो सकते हैं। पुलिस आंकड़ों के अनुसार वर्ष 2005 से 2025 के बीच दो दशकों में आईईडी विस्फोटों में 509 से अधिक लोगों की जान गई है। इनमें 350 से ज्यादा जवान और 159 से अधिक निर्दोष ग्रामीण शामिल हैं।</h5>
<h5>यह आंकड़े स्पष्ट करते हैं कि आमने-सामने की मुठभेड़ों की तुलना में छिपे हुए विस्फोटक ज्यादा घातक साबित हुए हैं। बंदूकें भले खामोश हों, लेकिन बारूदी सुरंगों का जाल अब भी बस्तर के लिए बड़ा खतरा है।</h5>
<h2 dir="ltr">IED मुक्त बस्तर सबसे बड़ी चुनौती</h2>
<h5 dir="ltr">आईईडी से निपटने के लिए सुरक्षा बलों ने माइन प्रोटेक्टेड व्हीकल, बम डिस्पोजल स्क्वॉड, डॉग स्क्वॉड और आधुनिक सर्विलांस उपकरण तैनात किए हैं। संवेदनशील मार्गों की नियमित जांच की जा रही है और ग्रामीण इलाकों में जागरूकता अभियान भी चलाए जा रहे हैं। लोगों को संदिग्ध वस्तुओं से दूर रहने और तुरंत सूचना देने की अपील की जा रही है।</h5>
<h5>इसके बावजूद विशेषज्ञों का मानना है कि जब तक व्यापक और संगठित डिमाइनिंग अभियान नहीं चलाया जाता, तब तक बस्तर को पूरी तरह सुरक्षित घोषित करना संभव नहीं है। घने जंगल, दुर्गम पहाड़ी इलाकों और कच्ची सड़कों में वर्षों पुराने आईईडी की पहचान करना आसान नहीं है। समय और मौसम के साथ ये विस्फोटक और भी अस्थिर हो जाते हैं, जिससे जोखिम बढ़ जाता है।</h5>
<h2 dir="ltr">निर्दोष ग्रामीण भी बन रहे शिकार, जंगल जाने में डर</h2>
<h5 dir="ltr">आईईडी का असर अब केवल सुरक्षाबलों तक सीमित नहीं रहा। जंगलों में लकड़ी, तेंदूपत्ता और महुआ बीनने जाने वाले आदिवासी ग्रामीण, खेतों में काम करने वाले किसान और पशुपालक भी इन विस्फोटों का शिकार बन रहे हैं। कई मामलों में मवेशियों की मौत के बाद गांवों में दहशत फैल जाती है और लोग रोजमर्रा की गतिविधियों से भी डरने लगते हैं। सुकमा, बीजापुर, दंतेवाड़ा और नारायणपुर जैसे इलाकों में यह खतरा सबसे अधिक देखा गया है। हालांकि हालात पहले की तुलना में बेहतर हुए हैं, लेकिन पूर्ण सुरक्षा अभी भी दूर है।</h5>
<h5>एक ग्रामीण ने कहा, “नक्सलियों की वजह से हमारे गांव में सालों तक डर का माहौल रहा। अब प्रशासन की कार्रवाई से शांति लौट रही है। हम चाहते हैं कि नक्सलवाद पूरी तरह खत्म हो, ताकि हमारे बच्चे बिना डर के पढ़ सकें और गांव विकास की राह पर आगे बढ़े। स्पष्ट है कि बस्तर नक्सलमुक्ति की दहलीज पर जरूर पहुंचा है, लेकिन स्थायी शांति के लिए ‘IED मुक्त बस्तर’ बनाना अब सबसे अहम लक्ष्य बन चुका है। जब तक ज़मीन के नीचे छिपा यह अदृश्य खतरा समाप्त नहीं होता, तब तक शांति अधूरी रहेगी।</h5>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>छत्तीसगढ़ के बस्तर मंडल में एक प्रमुख घटना घटित हुई है, जहाँ 51 नक्सलियों ने पुलिस के सामने आत्मसमर्पण किया है। इनमें 34 महिलाएं शामिल हैं। इन सभी पर कुल 1.61 करोड़ रुपये का इनाम था। &#8216;पूना मारगेम&#8217; पहल के अंतर्गत बीजापुर और सुकमा जिलों में हुए इस आत्मसमर्पण को राज्य सरकार की पुनर्वास नीति की सफलता के रूप में देखा जा रहा है। प्रशासन ने नक्सलवाद के खिलाफ व्यापक अभियान चलाया है, जो अब फलित होता दिख रहा है।</h5>
<h2>बीजापुर में खास आत्मसमर्पण</h2>
<h5>जानकारी के अनुसार, बस्तर पुलिस के &#8216;पूना मारगेम&#8217; पुनर्वास पहल के तहत बीजापुर में 30 नक्सलियों ने सरेंडर किया, जिनमें 20 महिलाएं भी शामिल थीं। वहीं, सुकमा जिले में 14 महिलाओं समेत 21 अन्य नक्सलियों ने मुख्यधारा में लौटने का निर्णय लिया। नक्सलियों का कहना है कि वे राज्य सरकार की पुनर्वास नीति से प्रभावित हैं और सामान्य जीवन जीने की उनकी इच्छा है।</h5>
<h2>अब तक 300 नक्सली हुए आत्मसमर्पण</h2>
<h5>छत्तीसगढ़ में नक्सलवाद खत्म करने की समय सीमा 31 मार्च, 2026 के आस-पास है, और इस वर्ष अब तक लगभग 300 नक्सलियों ने आत्मसमर्पण किया है। पुलिस महानिरीक्षक सुंदरराज पट्टिलिंगम ने कहा कि यह सब राज्य सरकार की आत्मसमर्पण और पुनर्वास नीति के प्रभाव का परिणाम है।</h5>
<h2>इनाम की विस्तृत जानकारी</h2>
<h5>गिरफ्तार किए गए नक्सलियों में से बोटी पोडियम उर्फ मल्ला, सुखराम मदकम और रीना पुणेम शामिल हैं, जिन पर 8-8 लाख रुपये का इनाम था। 30 नक्सलियों पर कुल 85 लाख रुपये का इनाम घोषित किया गया था।</h5>
<h2>जमा किया गया हथियार</h2>
<h5>सुकमा में आत्मसमर्पण करने वाले नक्सलियों ने तीन एके-47 राइफल, दो सेल्फ लोडिंग राइफल, एक इंसास राइफल, और अन्य हथियारों के साथ-साथ जिलेटिन की छड़ें और डेटोनेटर भी जमा कराए। आत्मसमर्पण करने वाले हर नक्सली को तत्काल 50,000 रुपये की सहायता राशि दी जाएगी।</h5>
<h2>आत्मसमर्पण की अपील</h2>
<h5>सुंदरराज पट्टिलिंगम ने कहा कि सुरक्षा शिविरों की स्थापना, बेहतर सड़क संपर्क और सरकार की विकास योजनाओं के कारण माओवादी गतिविधियों में कमी आई है। उन्होंने अन्य नक्सलियों से भी आत्मसमर्पण की अपील की और कहा कि हिंसा केवल विनाश और पीड़ा का कारण बनती है।</h5>
<h2>मुख्यमंत्री का बयान</h2>
<h5>छत्तीसगढ़ के मुख्यमंत्री विष्णु देव साय ने इस घटना को बस्तर क्षेत्र में शांति और विकास की दिशा में एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम बताया। उन्होंने कहा कि यह सरकार के पिछले दो वर्षों के प्रयासों का प्रतिफल है, जिसने सड़क, शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं और बुनियादी सुविधाओं में विस्तार किया है।</h5>
