A pivotal moment unfolded in Narayanpur as Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Dev Sai rallied security personnel at the ITBP camp. Interacting with ITBP, CRPF, CoBRA, BSF, DRG, and CAF teams, he showered praise on their role in dismantling Maoist strongholds, paving the way for Bastar’s renaissance.
Decades of terror had severed Bastar’s links to progress, despite its bountiful resources and vibrant heritage. Sai credited the forces’ bravery for the turnaround, where peace now fosters rapid development. Over a shared night feast, he listened to their stories, strengthening bonds and resolve.
Forest Minister Kedar Kashyap highlighted the transformation: gunfire silenced by school bells and folk rhythms. He affirmed the forces’ alignment with Home Minister Amit Shah’s directives. The event brimmed with gestures of respect—gifts and mementos exchanged amid police band performances.
Security enhancements, via forward camps and coordinated deployments, have squeezed naxal operations. Joining the CM were ministers, MPs like Mahesh Kashyap, and officials including IG Sundarraj P, who sketched the peace strategy. SP Robinsin Guria and others underscored operational successes.
This morale-boosting visit arrives as Bastar witnesses booming projects: better connectivity, education, and health services. The government’s focus on jawans’ well-being in adversarial conditions is non-negotiable. With security solidified, Bastar’s future gleams with potential, inspiring national anti-naxal campaigns.
