The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has established 229 Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) in Naxal-affected states since 2019, aiming for a March 2026 deadline to eliminate Left Wing Extremism (LWE). These semi-permanent bases enhance security forces’ reach, operational effectiveness, and local governance by denying safe havens to insurgents and facilitating development activities. Recent data indicates a significant reduction in Naxal violence, with incidents dropping by 89% since 2010 and the number of Naxal-affected districts decreasing from 126 to 11. This strategy reflects the government’s commitment to restoring peace and stability in previously inaccessible regions, underscoring a holistic approach to internal security and community welfare.
