News India Live, Digital Desk: Today, when we stand in the year 2025 and look back, the face of Jharkhand appears to have changed a lot. This month, Jharkhand is standing at the threshold of its youth, that is, the state has become full of 25 years (Silver Jubilee) has happened.
When this state was formed after being separated from Bihar in 2000, it inherited mineral wealth, but along with ‘Naxalism’ Fear of.
remember that era
There was a time when going out of Ranchi was no less than a risk. In areas like Palamu, Latehar, Garhwa or Chaibasa, there used to be silence on the roads as soon as the evening fell. The walls were painted with red posters and threats. Only the common people were torn between ‘police’ and ‘Naxalites’. Development work came to a halt because not even a single brick could be laid without paying ‘levy’ (extortion).
That historic victory of Budha Pahad
But the change that has taken place in the last few years, especially in the last 5-7 years, is no less than a miracle. You may remember ‘Old Mountain’which was once considered an impregnable fort of Naxalites. Even a bird could not kill there. Today there is a camp of security forces there and the tricolor is flying proudly.
The passion with which our police and CRPF personnel conducted ‘Operation Octopus’ and ‘Operation Double Bull’ broke the back of the Naxalites. Big prize commanders were either killed or they surrendered and chose the mainstream path.
Roads reached, fear ran away
Today, paved roads have reached even the dense forests of Saranda. Now government schemes are reaching the villages where Naxalites used to hold meetings, schools are opening and mobile towers are being installed. People who had fled out of fear have now slowly started returning to their fields.
Is the problem completely resolved?
It is too early to say that Naxalism is 100% over, but yes, it is “Last Breaths” Definitely counting. Now it is not an ideology, but is limited to small criminal gangs (Splinter Groups) who scare only for money. But now the village people have also become aware and do not support them.
These 25 years of Jharkhand were a struggle, but ultimately democracy and development won. It is hoped that the next 25 years will write a new story of peace and prosperity.
