Raipur, October 21

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday praised the bravery and dedication of police personnel in combating naxalism while also promoting development in affected areas, as the state observed Police Commemoration Day.

On the occasion of Police Commemoration Day, Chhattisgarh CM told ANI, "Police Commemoration Day is being observed to mark the sacrifices made by police and security personnel on the line of duty. The jawans ensure safety of all by remaining in tough situation."

On fighting naxalism, CM Sai said, "Security personnel have showcased extreme courage while fighting naxalism. They have not just pushed naxals on the backfoot, but also ensured development in the area."

The CM further reiterated the state government's commitment to eradicating naxalism from Chhattisgarh by March 31, 2026.

"Recalling the commitment of weeding out naxalism from Chhattisgarh by 31 March 2026, said Sai that with the courage of our police personnel, the target will be acheived within the set time frame."

Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma echoing the sentiments, emphasized the pivotal role of security personnel in both combating naxalism and driving development in the Bastar region.

"Sending the message of courage while fighting naxalism, the security personnel are playing pivotal role in development of Bastar region," said Deputy CM Vijay Sharma.

Paying tribute to the security personnel, who sacrificed their lives on the line of duty, Sharma also spoke about the commitment of Chhattisgarh Government towards the family members of jawans. He also informed about the memorial are being made at the village of jawans.

To honour the ever lasting memory of gallant Policemen, who have made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty, October 21 every year is observed as 'Commemoration Day' by the Police forces all over India.

The significance of October 21 lies in the fact that ten brave Policemen were ambushed and killed by the Chinese Army at Hot Springs in Ladakh on October 21, 1959 in an unequal confrontation inside Indian territory. To honour the memory of these ten valiant Policemen, the DGsP/IGsP Conference held in 1962 decided to observe October 21 every year as Police Commemoration Day.

While I appreciate the government's commitment, I hope they focus equally on development and job creation in tribal areas. Naxalism won't end just with police action - we need to address the root causes too.

Development in Bastar region is crucial. When people have education, healthcare and employment opportunities, they won't fall for naxal ideology. Police alone can't solve this - need holistic approach.
