MP CM hails naxal cadre elimination as top achievement ahead of two-year government milestone

“All credit for eliminating naxal cadres through the ‘surrender or get killed’ policy goes to our brave cops. For the first time, IPS officers volunteered for postings in naxal-infested areas and set targets to uproot naxalism. Our IG in Balaghat Range, Sanjay Kumar, moved on a motorcycle like a regular jawan — such was the commitment and dedication of our police force. We also pay rich tribute to all cops who sacrificed their lives, including young Inspector Ashish Sharma. The 42 surrenders in 42 days wouldn’t have been possible without the proactive approach of our brave cops. Salute to their efforts,” he added.“They once ran a parallel regime in the jungles and terrorized villagers. Now, the same outlaws were competing among themselves to surrender first to save their lives. Mobile phone conversations between them reveal their urgency. With naxal cadre numbers now down to zero in Balaghat, Mandla, and Dindori, we will now ensure a proper framework and system to prevent naxalism from reviving,” Yadav said.The MP CM also highlighted inter-state river linking projects like Ken-Betwa, Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal, and the Tapti Basin Mega Recharge Project as other major achievements of his two-year tenure.“The river linking projects, once implemented, will enhance irrigated land from 52 lakh hectares to 100 lakh hectares in five years,” he maintained.While reiterating his government’s commitment to ending drug abuse in MP, Yadav said, “We have begun by banning liquor in 19 religious towns and cities. With cooperation from society and social organisations, we are confident of eliminating the drug menace completely within the next three years.”
