On 17th November, 41 acres of illicit poppy production was wiped out in Manipur's Tengnoupal and Kangpokpi districts. A joined team identified and uprooted the crops during the day-long operation which was conducted in the Khudei Khullen hill range under Tengnoupal Police Station.

Killed just days before a planned capture deadline, Madvi Hidma had long evaded agencies with his deep forest networks, multi-layer security ring and leadership of PLGA Battalion No 1, linked to India’s deadliest Naxal attacks.

Responding to OpIndia’s RTI, the MHA confirmed over Rs 630 crore released under the Special Infrastructure Scheme to Naxal-affected states, reflecting the Modi government’s focus on accountability and modernisation in its war against Left-Wing Extremism.

The RTI reply highlights a sharp fall in Naxal violence under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with BJP-led governments showing stronger centre–state coordination and higher operational success in curbing insurgency across India’s shrinking Red Corridor.
