Red Corridor

The Red Corridor refers to a stretch of areas in eastern India, mainly in states like Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, and parts of Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. These regions have experienced conflicts involving Maoist insurgents, who oppose the government’s policies and seek to establish a communist-leaning rule. The term “Red” symbolizes communism. The area faces challenges like violence, development delays, and social unrest, impacting the local populations. The government has initiated various security and development programs to address these issues and promote stability in the region.
