India's counterinsurgency reduces Maoist-affected districts to about 11 by 2025
India
India's push to wipe out the Maoist insurgency is working: affected districts have dropped from 126 in 2013 to about 11 by 2025.
Focused counterinsurgency efforts and programs encouraging Maoists to surrender are helping shrink their influence fast.
Maoists join Bastar rehabilitation programs
Most of the remaining trouble spots are in Chhattisgarh (Bijapur, Sukma, Narayanpur) and Jharkhand (West Singhbhum).
Over the past week saw 11 Maoists surrender in Chhattisgarh's Bastar region, joining rehabilitation programs aimed at helping them start over.
The government says it's committed to securing these areas and making sure development reaches everyone.
