Anti-Naxal Operations

Anti-Naxal Operations refer to government military and police efforts to combat Maoist insurgents, known as Naxals, who operate in parts of India with the aim of overthrowing the state through guerrilla warfare. These operations involve coordinated patrols, intelligence gathering, and strategic military actions to eliminate Naxal hideouts, weaken their capabilities, and restore law and order. The goal is to protect civilians, ensure development, and maintain the nation's sovereignty by addressing the root causes of extremism and preventing violence in affected regions.
