Left Wing Extremism or Naxal Movement has been the source of extreme violence in some parts of the country. These extremists are internally waging wars against the state. It is considered to be the most important security concern. These extremist movements have disconnected several tribal villages from the national main stream. They want abolition of state to establish the rule of people. These extremists attack the symbols of the country\u2019s power such as the police, schools and other government institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. They resort to violence through their guerrilla\ntactics and attempt to setup their own government in the local villages. <\/li>
  3. They destroy the roads, transport system and\ngovernment resources, thereby creating hindrance in governance and last mile\nconnectivity. The poor are deprived further.<\/li>
  4. Urban Naxals, who sometimes operate under the\ncloak of NGOs or social-work units, raise questions about the use of force by\ngovernment machinery. This helps them build a strong bastion of sympathisers\nand volunteers in towns and cities and across social media.<\/li>
  5. They resort to extortion, abduction of important\npersonalities like Politicians, bureaucrats, police etc and put up their\ndemand.<\/li>
  6. They hire vulnerable people who have low\nliteracy levels, unemployed or low income, particularly the tribals, who aren\u2019t\naware of consequences of joining such forces, building up their cadre.<\/li>
  7. They also have nexus with politicians, they find\nthis as a medium to put up their demands through voices of Politicians.<\/li>
  8. They attack the police, government and collect\nweapons, technological devices to fight against them on technological front.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Government of India\u2019s approach to counter LWE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. The Government\u2019s approach is to deal with Left\nWing Extremism in a holistic manner, in the areas of security, development,\nensuring rights and entitlements of local communities, improvement in\ngovernance and public perception management.<\/li>
    2. The foremost focus of Government is to\nstrengthen the connectivity in these areas so as to improve its engagement with\nthe rest of the country. Infrastructural enhancements like road, railways and\nairport construction, instalment of mobile towers are taking place. For\nexample- National Policy and Action Plan.<\/li>
    3. Smart Leadership and better coordination with\nthe State governments is being encouraged by the Government to expand its reach\nin the LWE affected areas.<\/li>
    4. An aggressive strategy is being followed to\nmodernise and strengthen the capacity of armed forces.<\/li>
    5. Special emphasis is being laid on the\nimplementation of Forest Rights Act and ensuring entitlement of local\ncommunities over Minor Forest Produce.<\/li>
    6. To stop the maintenance and sustained survival\nof Left Wing Extremism, the Government is attempting to block Left Wing\nExtremist outfits\u2019 access to financing.<\/li>
    7. Surrender-cum-Rehabilitation Scheme is being\nimplemented to ensure militants\u2019 rehabilitation and return to the mainstream.<\/li>
    8. To counter the ideological effect of Left Wing\nExtremism on people, gaps between Security Forces and local people are being\nbridged through close interactions, Tribal Youth Exchange programmes, radio\njingles, documentaries, pamphlets etc.<\/li>
    9. The Union Home Minister enunciated an integrated\nstrategy through which the LWE can be countered with full force and competence.\nThe new strategy is called SAMADHAN, which is a compilation of short term and\nlong term policies formulated at different levels.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      As per reports, the total area affected by Naxalism has shrunk to 90 districts of the country from 165 districts and at least 122 Maoists have been killed across the country in the first six months of 2018 which is highest in past eight years.
