     Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they will make India Naxal-free, Shah said adding Modi government will not rest until all the Naxalites either surrender, are caught or eliminated.

     Despite the heat, altitude and the danger of IEDs at every step, the security forces made the operation successful with high spirits and destroyed the base camp of the Naxalites, the Home Minister said.

     The material dump and supply chain of the Naxalites built on the Karreguttalu hill were valorously destroyed by the jawans of Chhattisgarh Police, CRPF, DRG and Cobra, he said.

     Modi government is making every effort in making lives of the security forces smooth, who have suffered serious physical injuries in anti-Naxal operations, he said adding that the Modi government is committed to make the country free from Naxalism by March 31, 2026.
