MP CM Declares State Free of Naxalism | 12 Dec 2025

Why in News? 

With the surrender of two Naxalites in Balaghat district, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav claimed that the state was free of the Maoist menace. 

Key Points 

  • Campaign: The surrender took place during the ‘Rehabilitation to Rejuvenation’ campaign, which aims to integrate former Naxals back into mainstream society. 
  • Strategy: The success was driven by joint operations between the CRPF and local police, which maintained consistent pressure on the Naxal network in the area. 
  • Leadership: The success is attributed to the determination of the Prime Minister and the guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to eliminate Naxalism by 2026. 
  • Development: With the end of Naxalism, CM emphasized the region’s development, especially in areas like Mandla, Dindori, and Balaghat, while vowing to prevent Maoism's resurgence.
