State Food Minister Dr. Irfan Ansari emphasised the governments commitment to the poor, calling the move a reflection of CM Hemant Sorens pro-people governance. JMM links caste count to religion code demand Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), the ruling party in Jharkhand, has said that it will not allow the Union government to conduct a caste census in the state unless the Centre accepts the long-pending demand for the Sarna Religious Code. Many tribal communities, primarily from Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, and Madhya Pradesh, believe that they follow a nature worship system in which natural elements such as trees, mountains, and rivers are revered. Supporters of the Sarna Religious Code argue that tribals should be allowed to indicate their religion in the census. The census form does not have the option to select Sarna religion, so tribals are forced to choose either Hindu, Christian, or Other.

RAIPUR: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai held discussions on the next phase of strategy following the successful Operation Black Forest in an interaction with the security forces. Operation Black Forest had dismantled a key operational base of the banned CPI (Maoist) at Karreguttalu. The discussion happened during the CMs visit to the CRPF camp in Galgam, south Bastar, on Thursday. The CM commended the achievement of the forces in the tough, inhospitable Karreguttalu forested hilly terrain as he affirmed that the military victory at the strategic areas should now be converted into long-term development and peace. His visit to the camp, located along the inter-district border of Bijapur-Dantewada, was also intended to boost the morale of the jawans. The fight ahead will not be waged by weapons and courage alone, but also through education, employment, and inclusive development in the region. The operation was more than a military success and the moment has arrived with the crucial opportunity to pave the way for sustainable peace and prosperity, CM Sai asserted. The visit was as a part of the ongoing state governments Sushasan Tihaar (Good Governance Festival), a flagship initiative aimed at taking governance to the grassroots and closely tracking the implementation of public welfare schemes. Operation 'Black Forest' executed in Bijapurs south-west forest border area adjoining Telangana border for 21 days, during which the troops cautiously secured a substantial area of a lesser-known Karreguttalu hilly topography surrounded by forests from the grip of left-wing extremists. During the operation, as many as 31 Maoists were killed. The security forces traced several Maoist bunkers, arms-making units, and hideouts that were destroyed. The state government is aggressively countering the Maoist menace on two fronts: precise, diligent police action and rapid development plans, a government spokesperson said. He also met around 90 surrendered Maoists at a rehabilitation centre in Dantewada, where they are receiving training to secure dignified livelihoods in fields like drone operation, poultry farming, technician, and taxi driving. CM Sai assured that the rehabilitated surrendered Maoists will soon be integrated into district-level development initiatives.

CRPF dog killed in bee attack during Korgotalu hills anti-Naxal operation
BIJAPUR (Chhattisgarh): Rolo, a two-year-old female sniffer dog of the CRPF, was the only casualty suffered by the security forces during their biggest anti-Naxal operation at the Korgotalu hills as the four-legged soldier was attacked and stung around 200 times by a swarm of bees. Officials told PTI that the canine was tasked with sniffing out explosives and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) during the mega 21-day operation that concluded on May 11. Rolo was killed in action on April 27, they said. The CRPF DG has awarded a commendation medal to the dog posthumously. The security forces led by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Chhattisgarh Police units have claimed to have killed 31 Maoists, a deadly blow to the armed cadres of the Naxalites. A total of 18 troops were injured, including some who underwent leg amputation due to blast injuries, in this operation that the forces said was the iggest coordinated operation against the Maoists till date. The Korgotalu hills lie on the Chhattisgarh-Telangana border (Bijapur and Mulugu districts of the two states respectively) and are home to wild animals, including bears, insects and bees, apart from water bodies and natural caves. The dense jungle makes them an ideal hideout for the Naxals. Rolo, a Belgian Shepherd, was carrying out a search operation when the party was suddenly attacked by the swarm of bees on April 27, a senior CRPF official said. Rolo's handlers covered it with a polythene sheet but the bees slipped inside and bit it. Due to intense pain and irritation, the dog went berserk and came out of the cover, making it vulnerable to more stings, the officials said. The dog was stung around 200 times and fell unconscious. She was evacuated from the spot and emergency treatment was given to her by the handlers, the officials said. However, Rolo succumbed to the pain on the way to a medical facility on April 27 and was declared brought dead by the veterinarians of the force. The dog was deployed for anti-Naxal operations in Chhattisgarh in April last year after being trained at the CRPF canine training centre at Taralu near Bengaluru in Karnataka.

How Maoist-affected Dantewada emerged as best performer in Class 10 boards in Chhattisgarh
DANTEWADA: Students in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada, a district long besieged by Maoists , have proven the phrase 'nothing succeeds like success' true with their incredible performance in this year's board examinations. Dantewada topped the state in Class 10 board exams this year with an impressive 94.45 overall pass percentage. Interestingly, state capital Raipur ranked 32 among all districts with 66.24 pass percentage. Dantewada ranked 6 in Class 12 exams. A short while ago, the district remained among the bottom five in terms of board exam results. Where fear ruled the forested terrain, academic failure was yet another worry. Dantewada collector Kunal Dudawat told TNIE that major issues such as the lack of teachers, poor attendance, no tracking of student performance, no preparation for exams and evaluation were addressed. Several smart and focused strategies were adopted to improve school education, he added. The community, schools and administration have worked together to script the story of success. The magnificent results reflect not only the hard work of students, but the consistent coordinated efforts of teachers, principals, education department and the district administration. Potacabin schools, Choo Lo Aasman, Jawanga education city met the vision of local educational needs. The Maoists didn't want young people to get enrolled in schools as they feared that education might challenge their ideology and existence. So, as soon as children entered teenage years, pressure started building on them and their families to join the movement. Gradually the conflict-ridden Bastar zone strategically countered the barriers created by Maoists, beat the odds, won peoples trust, said Bastar IGP Sundarraj P. Last year, Dantewada stood at 8th position with 85.13% in Class 10 results. In Class 12, the district climbed from 11th to 6th position, with 87.66% pass percentage. Officials associated with the school education department shared that there were regular monthly tests, teachers worked together to create high-quality papers, fair evaluation of answer sheets, tracking every students progress, extra-support and workshops for students among other effective practices keenly followed across the district. Every quarter of the year, review meetings are held to discuss performance of students, schools and quality of teaching. Parents in Dantewada now realise the value of education. UNICEF and Bachpan Banao conducted sessions on mental health, reading skills, and motivation. Irregular or drop-outs were checked by village-based Bal-mitras (education workers).

Tech-savvy Telangana lags in birth, death digitisation
HYDERABAD: Despite being considered one of the top tech hubs in the country, Telangana has lagged behind in issuing digital birth certificates. According to the Civil Registration System (CRS) 2021 report, out of a total of 6,11,651 registered births, 2,34,425 deaths, and 6,051 stillbirths in the state, only 4,15,485 birth records, 1,26,098 death records and 4,062 stillbirth records had been digitised. The lack of digital birth certificates creates difficulties for citizens in accessing various services. The report also noted that birth and death registrations often did not occur within the stipulated 21-day period. Telangana, Bihar, Tripura, Goa, Delhi, Karnataka, Kerala, Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh fall into the category of registering more than 50% but less than 80% of births and deaths within the 21-day time frame, the report stated. This shortfall persists despite directions issued to all District Medical and Health Officers (District Registrars) and Municipal Commissioners/Municipal Health Officers (Urban Registrars), who are authorised to prosecute and compound offences. These officials were again instructed to exercise their powers under Section 23 of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969, to improve registration compliance. However, the CRS report pointed out that Telangana did not impose any penalties under Section 23 of the Act and submitted a nil report to the Centre. The report further stated that several states, including Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, did not furnish complete information regarding birth and death certificates issued under Sections 12 and 17 of the Act. According to the CRS, Telangana cited Covid-19 as one of the major causes of under-reporting, along with a lack of sub-registrars and statistical staff in municipalities, and a high number of vacancies among panchayat secretaries. The number of registered births in Telangana also declined in 2021 compared to 2020. Nationally, the number of registered births decreased slightly from 242.2 lakhs in 2020 to 242.0 lakhs in 2021 a decline of about 0.1%. Most states and union territories saw a decrease in registered births in 2021, with the exception of Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tripura, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, and Puducherry. The report noted that 12 states and UTs Jharkhand, Karnataka, Assam, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Kerala, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu contributed significantly to the overall decline in registered births in 2021 compared to 2020.

RAIPUR: Chhattisgarh will intensify surveillance and take action against Bangladeshi infiltrators and immigrants residing illegally in the state. As part of a special campaign, a directive from the state Home Minister Vijay Sharma, who is also the Deputy Chief Minister, mandates the formation of a special task force in every district of the state. This campaign is crucial from a national security perspective, as these infiltrators could pose serious challenges. There will also be action against those who engage in producing forged documents for illegal immigrants, said Sharma. The state police headquarters (PHQ) has issued instructions to all district superintendents of police to form special task forces to intensify the identification of Bangladeshi infiltrators and illegal immigrants, take necessary action, and deport them. The police in each district will carry out a special campaign to effectively track down illegal immigrants and take appropriate action in accordance with the law. Information will also be shared from each district with the state government, said an official. Contractors, business owners of tents, and scrap dealers who hire workers or labourers from outside without valid documents will also face action. They will be required to verify the documents of their workforce. All district SPs have been instructed to routinely update the PHQ on the actions taken. The Vishnu Deo Sai cabinet, on April 28, deliberated on the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators and illegal immigrants and decided to implement an effective action plan against them across the state. Sharma also mentioned that Chhattisgarh remains vigilant and has put measures in place to counter the threat of cyberattacks targeting the governments digital infrastructure amid the ongoing conflict with Pakistan. There will also be a thorough review to ascertain the validity of authorised documents such as ration cards, Aadhaar, voter IDs, driving licences, and PAN cards. In December last year, the state Home Minister declared that around 850 illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators had been deported from the state.
Accused cannot be convicted on circumstantial evidence alone: Supreme Court
In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court recently overturned a Chhattisgarh High Court judgment that had convicted a man for murder and other offences, observing that in a case based solely on circumstantial evidence, the accused cannot be held guilty. The apex court, while making this observation, allowed the appeal of the accused-appellant, Firuram Sahu, and acquitted him of all charges. There is absolutely no chain of circumstances available in the case which could lead to a conclusion of guilt, and there remains considerable scope for alternative hypotheses pointing to the innocence of the accused (Firuram Sahu). The only circumstance is the recovery of a tessi with human blood, which is insufficient to convict the accused for murder, stated a two-judge bench comprising Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice K Vinod Chandran in a recent ruling. While setting aside the High Court's judgment, the Supreme Court acquitted Sahu and dismissed the prosecutions case as unreliable. Sahu's counsel and Advocate-on-Record (AOR), Hitendra Rath, told this newspaper that the top court did not place any credence on the prosecutions version. The court further clarified that this was a clear case of circumstantial evidence. The only claim made by the prosecution was that there had been a land dispute between the deceased and the accused. The deceaseds son had testified that on the day of the murder, his mother had been complaining about the accused. Discarding the testimonies of prosecution witnesses, including the deceaseds son, the court reiterated that no conclusive chain of events was established to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. It is evident that the circumstances proved relate only to a title dispute between the deceased and the appellant, and the recovery of a tessi with human blood from the appellants bathroom following a disclosure allegedly made by him. However, this recovery alone is not sufficient to convict the accused of murder, the court held. It also noted that the prosecution failed to provide any other credible evidence linking the accused directly to the crime. The recovery is inconsequential, as the alleged weapon was never conclusively connected to the murder, the court stated. As a result, the court concluded that the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. Under these circumstances, the conviction and sentence of the appellant are set aside, the apex court ruled. Firuram Sahu had been convicted under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including Section 302 (Murder) and Section 201 (Destruction of Evidence), and sentenced to life imprisonment by the trial court. This conviction was upheld by the Chhattisgarh High Court in 2024, which was then challenged by Sahu in the Supreme Court.
Odisha's Sambalpur government womens college faces staff crunch
SAMBALPUR: The Government Womens College in Sambalpur is facing a severe shortage of both teaching and non-teaching staff, impacting its academic and administrative functioning. According to official sources, 19 out of the 76 sanctioned faculty positions are vacant, forcing the college to rely on guest lecturers which compromises the quality of education. The lack of permanent faculty members continues to raise concerns about maintaining consistent academic quality. The situation is more dire among non-teaching staff where, out of 66 sanctioned posts for non-teaching staff including senior assistant, junior assistant, clerk, librarian and peon, only 17 are currently occupied and 49 positions are vacant. The shortage of clerical staff, with only four positions being filled, is particularly alarming, due to which lecturers take up administrative work, sources said. Established in 1959 as a private institution and later taken over by the government, the college is one of the oldest womens colleges in western Odisha. Around 1,200 students across 19 undergraduate and 18 postgraduate programmes study from not only Odisha, but also from Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. Around 830 students reside in the college hostels. Principal of the college Rajashree Baral said that the issue has been communicated to the Education department and higher authorities, and they are awaiting a response. A few years ago, the college saw a movement advocating its recognition as a university. Alumni and prominent persons from the city demanded upgradation to a university, with plans to develop additional infrastructure.
A party veteran, three-time MP and former Union minister Bhakta Charan Das has been given a herculean task of rebuilding Congress in Odisha. In discussion with Team TNIE under the Odisha Dialogues series, the newly-appointed president of Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee outlines his vision, mission and strategy to revive the grand old party in the state. Excerpts: You have been appointed as the president of Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) at a time when the party is in a crisis in the state. It is fighting from the margins. What is your immediate strategy to revive the party in the state? I have been in Odisha politics since long. I have initiated steps to find out the reasons behind the partys defeat in every election and what can be done for its revival in the state. The two rivals - BJP and BJD - are no doubt stronger. They have money power and efficient election management machinery. But I believe that people of Odisha want a real change. The people of the state have realised that the BJD and BJP are hand in glove. They are once again looking towards Congress with hope. You said that BJD and BJP are hand in glove. If the people knew this, why did they vote for BJP in 2024 election? Why did Congress fare so badly? In the last election, our selection of candidates was wrong to the extent of 80 per cent. I clearly admit it. The campaigning was also amiss. Did you see any public meeting other than that addressed by Rahul Gandhiji and party president Khargeji? Barring a meeting that I had organised in Kalahandi in which former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel attended, there was no concerted campaign involving national leaders. We totally failed in election management. But you must realise, despite our weaknesses, about 15 of our candidates lost by low margins of 5,000 to 15,000 votes. If we had given some more attention to them, the party could have won another 15 to 20 Assembly seats. You were appointed OPCC president overlooking the claims of several senior leaders like Srikant Jena and Mohammed Moquim. As factionalism has long plagued the Congress in the state, how do you plan to unify leaders and cadres? You must see how I have already unified everybody. I openly visited every leaders house and discussed with them. They are all coming together. All the senior leaders like Srikant Jena, Jayadev Jena, Niranjan Patnaik and Koraput MP Saptagiri Ulaka are very close to me. Everybody including the young MLAs are also supporting me. Nobody has opposed my appointment. Where are the youth leaders in Congress? The party has failed to groom young leaders who can take the organisation ahead. We have many young leaders who were defeated in the 2024 election. At least 20 youth candidates are there who can win the next election. Now we are focused on rebuilding the Youth Congress and NSUI. We are going to organise intensive training camps for them. We are also selecting educated women leaders. I am going to select 500 educated youths with commitment who will carry the party forward. BJPs rise and BJDs fall have reshaped Odishas political landscape. How do you see this shift politically for Congress ? BJP has risen because of the fault of the Congress. Congress should have occupied the second place. We should have started at least one year before the last election. We should have strengthened the booths, identified the constituencies. We could have won 50 seats. If I would have come one year before, things would have been different. But this did not happen. So, BJP came to power by default. The understanding between BJD and BJP has also brought the BJP to power. BJD has 51 MLAs, but it has no MP. Five BJD MLAs win from a parliamentary segment, but they lose the parliamentary seat. How? Is it not a question to be discussed? I think the BJD and BJP planned this together. BJD let BJP MPs win for the Centre and thought BJP will be second in Assembly and they will rule the state. They have gifted the parliament seats. Some agreement was there. Do you think the strategy to focus on a single issue of growing crime against women in Odisha and the caste census demand which has now been announced by the Centre will help the Congress in Odisha. Will you demand a caste census to be carried out by the state government ? The Congress has succeeded in making the growing crime against women a burning issue in the state in just two months. The BJP laughed at us when we first started campaign on the issue. But now, you yourself can see everybody is raising the same issue. From Assembly to the streets, it is a raging issue in the state. You can see the government is cornered. Women are 50 per cent of the population. Naveen Patnaik exploited women voters by forming Mission Shakti. Now Mohan Majhi government is doing the same thing. Women have realised they are being exploited. More than 65 gang rapes have been reported in the last eight months of the BJP government. The BJP and BJD are not speaking on this. Already 300 days of this government have passed. Can they give a white paper on their performance and which of the promises they have fulfilled except Subhadra. And, we have also explained what Subhadra Yojana is. This is only Rs 27 per day which cannot cover even the cost of a meal per day. On caste census, when Rahul Gandhiji had started the campaign, the BJP had vehemently opposed it. Rahulji did not yield and continuously went on hammering on the issue. This terrified the central government. Suddenly, before the Bihar election it was compelled to announce the census. The BJP succumbed to the pressure of the Opposition. Our leader Rahul Gandhi still has not allowed the domain free for the BJP. He said it should not be like the Womens Reservation Bill. Timeline should be announced for implementation of the caste census. We will go to the people on the issue. We are not going to walk out of it. How do you plan to energise the party at the grassroots level where BJP and BJD are firmly ensconced with strong organisational base? You have seen candle yatras organised by the BJD and BJP at the district level after the Pahalgam terrorist attack to express solidarity with the families of the victims. You see the crowd in their yatras and those conducted by the Congress on the same issue. People were spontaneously joining the Congress programme. Our numbers were much much higher than theirs. I should tell you, the day I arrived after being appointed as the OPCC president, I fell down and broke my hand. But I did the Sankalpa Yatra and walked to Puri. You have yourself seen the crowd at my padayatra. People were not mobilised. They joined on their own and it was from village to village. Further, nobody was coming to take our membership. Now people have started joining our party. Mass exodus from other parties also is taking place. Everyday people are joining Congress at the district level and here in state headquarters also. Have you set any target for the membership drive like the BJP or the BJD ? By the end of July we will have formed panchayat level organisations. Youths, students will have their representation, and women are working in a big way. There will be big rallies of women where there will be no men. You have started the process to rebuild the party in the state. But the state office-bearers are yet to be announced even after two-and-half months of your appointment. We have started appointment of office-bearers. We have appointed a Political Affairs Committee (PAC). The media panel will be declared shortly. We have declared the Youth Congress team. Every department will have office-bearers in one month. The state executive and state office-bearers will be announced after that. You will see a full-fledged team of the Congress in the coming days. Party rebuilding needs money and resources when you are up against strong rivals like BJD and BJP. Just before the elections, Congress candidate for Puri LS seat withdrew her candidature for lack of resources. What are your plans? I will raise money from the common people. I will request for Rs 100 per month. Many people are there to contribute. If from each district 20,000 to 25,000 people give me Rs 100 per month, then it will be Rs 10 crore month. In four years, it would be Rs 480 crore. You have given a call to the Congress leaders who had left the party to return. Many of them had contested the 2024 election and defeated. What is the response? Response has been very unique. They had left the party, but in heart and mind they have still been in Congress. Some people did not get respect in the other parties. Some also did not get tickets. Many reasons are there. They do not want to be left behind now. You have also recently made a big statement that many BJD leaders are in touch with you. Can you clarify on this? Is the BJD going to split ? Many BJD leaders are my friends, and we talk. But I cannot say anything about the split. I would have been happy if BJD had maintained its independence. BJD has surrendered before the BJP. If the BJD can separate itself from BJP, it will emerge stronger even now. They are not able to fight for Biju Patnaik International Airport. They could not save Panchayati Raj Day for Biju Patnaik. One of their leaders compared Biju Patnaik who was very close to Nehruji with Pandian ( VK Pandian) and Naveen Patnaik did not utter a single word. Could not ask him to beg apology or leave the party. He is so much helpless. Do you think that people, political leaders who came for the ideology of Biju Patnaik and respect for Naveen Babu can continue in the party? What do you want. A strong BJD or a strong Congress ? I want a strong BJD for the sake of Oppositions requirement in the state. Because this is a double-engine government, a strong Opposition is required. If BJD would have been strong enough, BJD and Congress combined would have 65 or 66 MLAs. Then you have four independents. You could have roped them in anytime. So you want to topple the government ? They would have been terrified. A strong Opposition would have been possible. That is why I provoked. I wanted to awaken them. But they have ruled for 24 years. How can they wake up so soon. You have served in multiple leadership roles, including Union Minister. What personal experiences are you drawing from this revival mission ? I am a street fighter and a common man. I can work in worst situations. I can make an issue out of a non-issue. I have that confidence. I walked for three days with a broken hand for darshan of Lord Jagannath. People are central to all my works since the time I fought for poverty stricken people of Kalahandi.
Lifting the veil, letting in light
CHHATTISGARH: Generations in the Bastar zone of south Chhattisgarh have grown up under the shadow of Maoist terror. One such individual is 24-year-old Dr Harish Podiyami, a tribal from the Gond community who has served as a medical officer in his home district since August last year. Born and brought up in Sukma, Harish defied the odds by successfully completing an MBBS course at Raipurs Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Medical College in 2023. Coming from an area woefully roiled by Left-wing extremism and violence unleashed for the past over four decades, it was no mean feat. But Harish is not done yet. He is already preparing himself for another competitive exam to pursue a postgraduate degree MD or MS. As someone who was raised in a region considered a hotbed of Maoist violence, it goes without saying that he didnt have an easy childhood. But not many realise the challenges that come with living in a conflict zone. His family had no access to proper healthcare facilities. Schools were few and far between. And the benefits of government schemes didnt reach families that live in such areas. The situation now is a far cry from those times despite the threat of violence. Roads have been constructed, Anganwadi and health centres have come up and ration shops have opened. But he cant help but shudder when he harks back to those days. My family faced a persistent threat here. We were forced to shift to Rampuram, which distant 20 km from Chintagufa, by Maoists who identified us as supporters of the police, he recalls. But thats when a tragedy struck his family. To move our household belongings, my father went out to arrange a tractor, which met with an accident. My father was critically injured in the mishap. We took him to a district hospital, but there was no doctor to offer emergency services at the time (perhaps because of staff shortage). Besides, there was no ventilator support. We lost my father as a result. Had he received the necessary help and care in time, he could have been saved, a visibly shaken Harish says. It was a rude shock for our family, he says, revealing that it was at this very moment that he decided to pursue a career in medicine. The expenses of his medical education were met by his elder brother, a farmer, and a scholarship. He started school education in 2006, when the controversial government-backed anti-Maoist peace campaign Salwa Judum was at its peak. During those days, the Naxals used to pick a young member in every family under their rule to join as cadres of the banned outfit CPI (Maoist). I was young then. I remained a target of the Maoists. Though my parents were not educated, they were wise enough to realise that if I went to school, I would not end up as a part of the Maoist organisation, the young doctor says. Though he earlier wanted to serve as a civil servant, it soon dawned on him that if he wanted to clear the UPSC exams, he needed good coaching. And for that, he would have to spend a lot of money and stay in Delhi. I was good in biology and chemistry. So, I decided to try my luck in the medical stream instead, he smiles, adding, I got selected in an MBBS course in the year 2018 when my family was going through a tough phase in life. Now, he continues to serve the people in his area as a health professional. There is a lack of awareness about health and facilities in hospitals across most of our area in Sukma. I understand my people, their issues and the situation here better, said Dr Harish. Changing contours of conflict zone Not many realise the challenges that come with living in a conflict zone. Harish and his family had no access to proper healthcare facilities. Schools were few and far between. And the benefits of government schemes didnt reach families that live in such areas. The situation now is a far cry from those times despite the threat of violence. Roads have been constructed, Anganwadi and health centres have come up and ration shops have opened.

Chhattisgarh student tops class 10 board exams amid battle with cancer
RAIPUR: Amid ongoing treatment for cancer, Ishika Bala, a student from Chhattisgarhs Maoist-hit Kanker district, has emerged as the Class 10 state topper, balancing her studies with a personal battle few her age face. The daughter of a farmer, Shankar Bala, she was diagnosed with blood cancer in October 2023. Her health issues caused a temporary setback, and she couldnt appear for the Class 10 board exams in 2024. However, the obstacle didnt prevent her from moving ahead, as she nurtured a strong belief in herself with renewed hope and zest to sit for the board exams in 2025. The Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education declared the results for the Class 10 board exams on Wednesday. This year, 3.28 lakh students appeared for the exams, and the overall pass percentage stood at 76.53%. Ishika delivered a remarkable performance, securing 99.17%, even as she continued to brave challenges on the health front. Her father said the adversity was equally a difficult test of her personal strength, ability, and patience to overcome the hurdle as she guided herself toward the intended goal of giving her best in the board examinations. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai congratulated her for her outstanding performance. Talented daughter Ishika Bala, a resident of Gondahur in Kanker, secured a top rank in the high school examination. Brilliant students like her and others from the Maoist-affected regions have scripted a new story of success with their hard work, dedication, and zeal while overcoming the challenging adverse situations, said the CM. Ishika is a student of a government school and proved their ability to achieve excellence, said Vijay Pandey, senior journalist in Kanker.

Operation Sankalp: 22 Naxalites killed in encounter with security forces in Chhattisgarh
In Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district, security forces engaged in Operation Sankalp, a major counter-insurgency effort, resulting in the deaths of twenty-two Naxalites. Since April 21, the operation has led to numerous encounters, the recovery of firearms, and the seizure of explosives and supplies.
22 Maoists killed in ongoing anti-Maoist operation Mission Sankalp in Chhattisgarh
RAIPUR: At least twenty-two Maoists were killed in an encounter with security forces during the ongoing anti-Maoist operation Mission Sankalp in the volatile south-west forest border area of Bijapur district adjoining Telangana, a senior police officer said on Wednesday. The gunbattle broke out in the morning near the Karregutta hilly terrain along the interstate border. So far, 22 bodies have been recovered as the search operation continues in the region. The identity of the dead Maoists are yet to be established, he said. In the past two weeks of the massive offensive in south Bastar, security forces have gunned down 26 Maoists, including three women Naxalites who were killed in an exchange of fire on April 24, followed by the neutralisation of one woman Maoist on 5 May. Several weapons have been recovered during the ongoing decisive inter-state operation involving more than 15,000 security personnel over the past 12 days, as troops continue to march cautiously ahead towards the lesser-known Karregutta forested hills, surrounded by dense terrain, believed to be a crucial safe haven for senior Maoist leaders including top commanders of their battalion, the officer said. Based on specific intelligence inputs about Maoist presence along the south-western border areas of Bijapur, a joint team comprising personnel from the District Reserve Guard (DRG), Special Task Force (STF), CRPF and its elite CoBRA unit launched an anti-Maoist campaign. During the operation underway, an encounter took place between the forces and the Maoists on Wednesday. So far, the bodies of 26 Maoists have been recovered under Operation Mission Sankalp since April 21, he added. In the past few days of this major counter-insurgency drive, security forces have located several Maoist bunkers, hideouts and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Owing to the inhospitable topography, the forces have been unable to recover all bodies of the Maoists killed, the officer said. Around six jawans have been injured in pressure IED blasts during various stages of the operation. Their conditions are said to be stable and out of danger. This year, 168 Maoists have been killed in various encounters across Chhattisgarh, including 151 in the Bastar division. The Red rebels have also killed nine civilians in separate incidents in the Bastar region, which includes seven Maoist-affected districts.
