In Chhattisgarh's Bastar region, security forces have torn down more than 100 Maoist memorials since 2023 as part of efforts to weaken the insurgents' influence. These structures, once symbols of Maoist dominance, were used to instill fear and ideological control in local communities. Officials describe the demolitions as a deliberate step toward restoring state authority and normalcy.
