Security forces killed top female Naxalite leader Rupi in Chhattisgarh’s Kanker, marking a major blow to Left-Wing Extremism. Officials say she was the last senior cadre in Bastar, highlighting significant progress toward the Centre’s goal of eliminating Naxalism nationwide
The Naxalite movement is on the verge of collapse, with over 300 surrenders in recent days. Security officials predict its end by January 2026. Weak leadership, shortage of arms, and Venugopal’s surrender indicate the movement’s imminent demise
