What's behind this
Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked Diwali in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar district by honoring security personnel who have been involved in anti‑Naxal operations. He said the festival was the first Diwali after the country’s declared defeat of Maoist terror, noting that every district is now free from Naxalism and that development is flourishing in areas once dominated by Maoists. Modi credited strong political will and right policies for dealing blows to Naxal funding, but warned that “dimagi Naxals” – mental supporters of the insurgency – still pose a threat.
