Chhattisgarh: Rid of Red Terror, Bastar villagers seek Naxal-free tag
Villages in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit Bastar division are voluntarily seeking 'Naxal-free' status under the Ilwat panchayat scheme. This initiative, offering a Rs 1-crore development grant, recognizes villages where Maoist presence has ended. The state is developing a standard operating procedure to ensure genuine qualification for this conflict-to-peace transition model.
