Amit Shah Chhattisgarh Visit | High level security meeting and final roadmap

On February 8, a high level security meeting will be held in Raipur as part of the Amit Shah Chhattisgarh visit. Senior officials from Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Maharashtra, and Odisha will attend the meeting.

Representatives from the Central Armed Police Forces and intelligence agencies will also participate. During the meeting, Amit Shah will review the progress of operations in Naxal affected areas.

Shah will also finalise the final roadmap for the coming phase. However, there is strong curiosity about the key decisions that will emerge from this high level meeting.

Later, on February 9, Amit Shah will attend the closing ceremony of the Bastar Pandum Mahotsavam 2026 in Jagdalpur, Bastar district.

After that, he is likely to visit interior areas of Bastar. During this visit, he may interact directly with jawans deployed on the ground. This interaction is expected to boost morale and provide first hand feedback.

As per the data shared by the Union Home Ministry, Operation Kagar has played a crucial role in recent years.

Since 2019, 229 new security bases have been established. Out of these, 59 bases were set up in the current year alone.

These bases helped security forces gain control over Maoist strongholds. Meanwhile, violent incidents dropped from 1,936 in 2010 to 234 by 2025. Civilian and security personnel deaths also fell by nearly 90 percent.

The number of Naxal affected districts reduced sharply. While there were 126 such districts in 2018, the count came down to just eight by December 2025.

Out of these, only three districts remain severely affected. Along with security measures, the Centre also focused on development. Roads, 4G towers, and banking facilities were extended in remote areas.

Therefore, Shah visit is seen as the final step in the Centre’s campaign against Maoists.
