Madvi Hidma, a top Maoist leader and Central Committee member, was killed on November 18, 2025, in an encounter with Andhra Pradesh police in the Maredumilli forest. His wife and four others also died in the operation. The killing marks a significant blow to the CPI(Maoist), amid ongoing surrenders and internal divisions.
The Lok Sabha passed the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill 2026 by voice vote on Thursday as opposition members protested and walked out, demanding scrutiny by a Select Committee. The bill, cleared by the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, is likely to undo a Supreme Court verdict directing the reduction of IPS officers' deputation in CAPFs. Opposition leaders criticised the move for undermining CAPF personnel's morale.
