Naxalite movement will completely end by Jan 2026, says Security Forces

The deadline for the Naxalite movement to perish is March 31, 2026. However, going by the number of surrenders that have taken place over the last week, security officials estimate the movement could end by January 2026, the Republic Day.

The security forces currently have the upper hand, and even those Naxalites who want to continue fighting and not surrender will be eliminated by January next



year. 

For the security mechanism, the final battle against the Naxalites will be relatively easy. The area of operations has come down drastically, and hence, the operations going forward would be more pinpointed.

Few affewcted areas are Bijapur, Sukma, and Narayanpur in Chhattisgarh. In areas such as Gariaband, Kanker, and Dantewada, the Maoists are in very small numbers, which suggests that they may surrender soon.
