India's Naxal deadline: Forces launch final assault, Centre prepares blueprint post March 31

Security forces are launching a major operation to neutralize remaining Maoist cadres before the March 31 deadline to end left-wing extremism. The government is also preparing a blueprint for withdrawal of some CAPF battalions and introducing welfare schemes in the affected regions. The final assault involves coordinated movements across the 'Red Corridor' to dismantle the remaining insurgent infrastructure and leadership. Following the deadline, the focus will shift to administrative consolidation and socio-economic development to prevent the resurgence of extremist ideologies.
