New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will celebrate Diwali with security personnel in Bastar, Chhattisgarh. After being in the clutches of Naxalism for many decades, Bastar has now been freed from it. Modi said in a post on social media platform 'X', going to Bastar to celebrate Diwali with my brave security forces.
The Prime Minister said that Bastar is an area where Naxalites once wreaked havoc but now there is a wave of development there. He said, I am going to salute the sacrifice, selfless service and unwavering dedication of our brave security personnel towards the nation.
Central Armed Police Forces and Chhattisgarh Police personnel have been deployed in Bastar. These soldiers have been playing an important role in anti-Naxalism operations. The government had announced on March 31 this year that the country was free from the menace of Naxalism after several Maoists were killed and hundreds of others surrendered.
While wishing Diwali on Saturday, the Prime Minister had said that like last year, this time too he will celebrate this festival with the brave soldiers of the country. In a video message shared on his social media accounts, Modi had said that like everyone else, he too will celebrate the festival of Diwali with full enthusiasm.

Like all of you, I also celebrate Diwali with full enthusiasm. The Prime Minister said that everyone knows that he celebrates Diwali every year with the brave soldiers of the country.
