Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the Maharashtra government’s initiatives for fostering all-round development in the state’s Maoist-affected and remote regions. His remarks followed Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s visit to Gadchiroli, a district long plagued by Naxalite extremism, where significant strides against the insurgency were showcased.
During the visit, several Naxal cadres surrendered, signaling a decline in their dominance. Fadnavis also announced a slew of developmental projects aimed at improving infrastructure and services in these marginalized areas.
Taking to X, Modi stated, “I laud the Maharashtra Government’s efforts to ensure all-round development in remote and Maoist-affected areas. This will certainly boost ‘Ease of Living’ and pave the way for even more progress. A special congratulations to my sisters and brothers of Gadchiroli and the surrounding areas!”
The Prime Minister’s remarks came in response to Fadnavis highlighting his administration’s commitment to eradicating left-wing extremism and uplifting communities in the region through sustained development efforts.
