Police outreach programme: Mini-rice mill units handed over to Adivasis of 20 interior villages in Telangana's Charla mandal
As part of a major outreach initiative, the Bhadradri Kothagudem district police on Wednesday (June 11, 2025) handed over mini-rice mills to Adivasis of around 20 interior villages of Telangana's Charla mandal, abutting the Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) affected areas of Chhattisgarh's south Bastar region.
Superintendent of police B. Rohit Raju interacted with Adivasis of the far-flung areas at an outreach programme held at Rallapuram village in Charla mandal on the occasion.
The 20 mini-rice mill units have been set up at an estimated cost of ₹2.50 lakh each, totalling ₹50 lakh, for the benefit of Adivasis inhabiting the remote villages on the fringes of forests, police said.
The superintendent of police felicitated the local Adivasi youth, Adamaiah, who participated in a national-level sailing competition recently. Later, the police official handed over clothes to the family members of a Maoist woman cadre of the village. He called upon the underground Maoist cadres to shun the path of violence and return to the mainstream.

Red Terror or Dead Terror Ft. Sandeep Unnithan
Inside India's Fight Against Naxalism | Is This the End of Red Terror? | Ft. Sandeep Unnithan In this deep-dive episode of In Our Defence, veteran defence journalist Sandeep Unnithan joins host Dev Goswami to unpack India's decades-long battle with Left Wing Extremism (LWE) — often called Naxalism or Red Terror — and the recent decisive push to eradicate it by March 2026. Dev and Sandeep explore the evolution of the Naxal movement from its origins in Naxalbari in 1967 to its spread across India's infamous 'Red Corridor', and the multi-pronged strategy that has brought the insurgency to its lowest levels in decades. Key topics include: The historic neutralisation of CPI (Maoist) General Secretary Basavaraju in Operation Black Forest The spike in encounters and surrenders in 2024–25 Why counter-insurgency in jungles is as deadly — and complex — as high-tech border warfare. Why the Indian Army was never deployed against Naxals — and what could have happened if they had. The role of urban intellectual support in sustaining the movement — and why that's now faded. This episode is an eye-opening look at one of India's longest-running internal conflicts, now seemingly entering its final phase. Tune in. Produced by Garvit Srivastava Sound mixed by Rohan Bharti

LDF free of dubious links unlike UDF with JEI: Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan
Kozhikode: Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan launched a scathing attack on UDF for accepting the support of Welfare Party, the political arm of Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI) in Nilambur. Calling it a highly opportunistic move, he accused UDF of allying with anyone opposing LDF, regardless of the dangers it poses to society. At LDF campaigns in Chungathara and Moothedam on Friday, he said a desperate Congress and UDF, rattled by the growing public support for LDF, had abandoned their earlier positions. He said it's hard to digest that Congress leadership took the stand without the knowledge of IUML leadership and asked what was the reason for the party to ditch its earlier stand on the matter. "For nine years, they were not in power and now they are willing to join hands with anyone for votes," he said. "Some sections were kept away because of their stand on various issues. JEI is one such organization. When they (UDF) reached a point where they can no longer hold ground on their own, they chose to blatantly align with anyone," alleged Vijayan, adding that our society is capable of recognizing the same. Vijayan said everyone knows that LDF would not venture into such unholy agreements. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "We have always made it clear that LDF does not need the support of divisive, sectarian or communal forces," he added. Vijayan said it would be good for IUML's leadership to remember why the then heads of Panakkad Thangal family did not attend the programmes organized by institutions affiliated to JEI. "It was because they knew what JEI is," he added. Vijayan came down heavily on AICC general secretary KC Venugopal for his alleged comment that LDF govt was trying to turn the distribution of welfare pensions into a bribe before bypolls. "What kind of bankruptcy is that? It reflects the anti-poor mindset of Congress. But LDF govt will go ahead with whatever it announced and disburse amounts at appropriate time," he added. Vijayan reiterated his 'betrayal' remarks in a reference to former Left-backed independent MLA PV Anvar saying that the byelection was forced on the people due to his actions.

Minister inaugurates new quarters, hosp for CRPF jawans in JSR
Jamshedpur: Union minister of state for home affairs, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, on Friday praised the courage shown by Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) forces in combating terrorism and insurgency across the country at a function here. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Addressing a gathering during the inauguration of 500 family quarters for jawans, a 20-bed hospital, a store building, a tradesmen's shop, and a main barrack to accommodate 180 personnel, the minister said, "CRPF plays a crucial role in safeguarding internal peace and security of the country and their sacrifices are invaluable." He also said, "The CRPF is one of the finest paramilitary forces in the world. We cannot forget their bravery and sacrifices for the motherland. Whether it's fighting terrorism and separatism in Jammu & Kashmir, confronting insurgency in the Northeast, or eliminating Maoist threats in central India, CRPF's valour is truly extraordinary." On the paramilitary force's role during elections, Kumar said, "The deployment of CRPF during state assembly elections across the country reflects the nation's trust in the force. It plays a crucial role in conducting free, fair, and peaceful elections, safeguarding the democratic process. Currently, the CRPF is playing a key role in countering Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in J&K, restoring peace, and neutralizing terrorists. They are also crucial in ensuring the safe conduct of the Amarnath Yatra." He also commended the role of the force, particularly in Manipur, in stabilising the situation and restoring peace in the northeastern state. "In Maoist-affected regions of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, the CRPF operations and initiatives aligned with govt policies have motivated hundreds of rebels to surrender, renounce violence and return to the mainstream," he said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Stating that the govt is committed to ensuring the welfare of the personnel, Kumar said, "The govt will equip our security forces with modern and advanced weapons to face emerging challenges. Additionally, ensuring the welfare and improved living standards of CRPF personnel remains a top priority, and govt is working to provide all necessary facilities." He added, "The new residential quarters near Jamshedpur will help CRPF personnel house their families in a safe environment, ensure better education for their children, and allow them to dedicate themselves to the service of the nation without worries."
