Security Forces to Set Up 30+ New Forward Bases in Fresh Push to End Naxalism by 2026

PTI, NEW DELHI/RAIPUR, SEPT 6, 2025 : Security forces will open more than 30 new forward bases and special units of the CRPF and its CoBRA battalion will further move "deep inside" to target top Maoist leaders in Chhattisgarh as part of a fresh plan drawn to meet the deadline of ending Naxalism from the country by March 2026, official sources said Saturday.

A high-level meeting was held in state capital Raipur on Friday with Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Director of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) Tapan Deka, CRPF Director General (DG) Gyanendra Pratap Singh, Chhattisgarh DGP Arun Dev Gautam and other senior officials in attendance.

The meeting on anti-Naxal operations reviewed the deployment of the forces and their requirements for the new units, which will further go deep inside. It has been decided to open more than 30 new forward operation bases (FOBs) in the remote locations of the Bastar region after the end of monsoon rains to further intensify the offensive, the sources told PTI.

The majority of this work will be done by the units of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) while its special jungle warfare battalion CoBRA will be further traversing into core Naxal-affected areas of the state, they said.
