    What's the story

    Union Home Minister and top Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah reportedly said that Left Wing Extremism (LWE) will be uprooted from India within the next two years.

    During a review meeting on Friday regarding the security situation in LWE-hit states, Shah also alleged that 2022 witnessed the lowest number of violence and deaths in Naxal-hit areas in the past 40 years.

    He emphasized the need for constant surveillance in the areas freed from Naxals to prevent its revival.

    At the meeting, the home minister also revealed that the Centre is adopting numerous measures to speed up development in LWE-affected states.

    "The central government has launched more than 14,000 projects under the Special Central Assistance (SCA) scheme to accelerate development in the districts most affected by LWE," the ministry said in a press release, according to news outlet News18.

    Furthermore, Shah highlighted that projects worth Rs. 992 crore have been sanctioned under the Special Infrastructure Scheme (SIS) for constructing fortified police stations, strengthening state intelligence branches, and special forces in LWE-affected states.
