Shah reviews anti-Naxal operations in Chhattisgarh visit

India Jun 19, 2025

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is heading to Chhattisgarh on June 22-23.
He'll check in on anti-Naxal operations, lay the foundation for a new National Forensic Science University and state forensic lab in Nava Raipur Atal Nagar, and visit a security camp in Bastar.
Shah will also meet the family of a police officer killed by a Maoist blast.

Forensic institutes to modernize investigations

Chhattisgarh has seen over 400 Maoists neutralized since the BJP's election win, as part of a big push to end Naxalism by 2026.
Shah's visit highlights both progress against insurgency and support for those affected.
Plus, the new forensic institutes aim to modernize investigations—helping law enforcement tackle crime more effectively, especially in conflict zones.
