Two major encounters in Chhattisgarh killed 14 Maoists, while top commander Barsa Deva surrendered in Telangana, prompting state police to claim the upper hand against Naxalism. Additional DGP Vivekanand Sinha stated that the Naxal problem will end before the March 2026 deadline. Telangana police view the surrender as crippling the Maoist military wing.
The surrender of Devuji, alias Thippiri Tirupathi, along with 20 cadres in Telangana has reduced Maoists to around 180 armed cadres. This marks the near end of Left-Wing Extremism ahead of the government's March 31 deadline. The development calls for reflection on development and inclusion rather than celebration.
