A 25-year-old teacher, Kallu Tati, was abducted and killed by Naxalites in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district, suspected of being a police informer. This incident marks the eighth murder of individuals in the Bastar region since June 2023, as Naxals increasingly target shikshadoots, who are often seen as informants by the insurgents. This trend highlights the ongoing challenges faced by local educators and government workers in Naxal-affected areas, where their safety remains precarious. The Indian government must strengthen security measures and support for local communities to counteract Naxal violence and uphold law and order in these vulnerable regions.
