India declares no Naxal-affected districts

India's Ministry of Home Affairs has announced that no district in the country now falls under the Left-Wing Extremism category following a fresh security review. This marks a major milestone in India's decades-long fight against Naxalism, a Maoist insurgency that has affected multiple states. The government has reclassified 37 districts as 'Legacy and Thrust districts' while keeping West Singhbhum in Jharkhand under 'District of Concern' status for continued vigilance. The update covers states including Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Maharashtra, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and West Bengal.
