Addressing the jawans at the Sedwa CRPF camp in Bastar district, the Chief Minister praised their dedication and perseverance, which have left a lasting impact on the region. The jawans warmly welcomed his unexpected visit, expressing their gratitude and delight.

During his address, the Chief Minister remarked, “Your efforts over the past 11 months have brought significant progress in the fight against Naxalism, drawing praise across the country.
