Maoists won’t sleep peacefully this monsoon, says Amit Shah in Chhattisgarh
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is on a two-day visit to Chhattisgarh. He reiterated the goal he has set of eradicating Left-wing extremism by March 2026. He also made an appeal to those who have joined the Maoists. Shah also laid the foundation stone for the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) and Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) campus in Raipur, and virtually inaugurated the temporary campus of NFSU, raipur.
In Raipur, he chaired a meeting on anti-Maoist operations Sunday, which was attended by top police officers from Maoist-affected states like Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Odisha.
“I want to say this to the people of Chhattisgarh before I go… Every year during the rainy season, Naxals used to get some rest. But this time, we will not allow them to sleep even during the rains, and will move forward to achieve our March 2026 goal.”

He also made an appeal to those who have joined the Maoists. “I again appeal to all youngsters who got misled and joined the Naxal movement to surrender under the attractive surrender policy. Drop the weapons and join the path of Chhattisgarh’s development. You will never get a better opportunity than this to surrender. There is no need for discussion. Have faith in the government, drop the weapons and join the mainstream. Many people have dropped their weapons, and I welcome them and assure you that we will not only keep our promise, but we will try to provide even more support,” he said.
Shah said the greatest achievement of Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai’s government in the past one and a half years is that they accelerated the anti-Maoist campaign and moved forward in the direction of freeing the state from LWE.
Shah also laid the foundation stone for the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) and Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) campus in Raipur, and virtually inaugurated the temporary campus of NFSU, Raipur.
Talking about the modernisation of the criminal justice system with these initiatives, Shah said, “These three initiatives will, in the coming days, serve as a foundation not only for Chhattisgarh but for the entire criminal justice system of central India.”
