Bastar Youth Are Vocal Against Naxalism: Chhattisgarh
Bastar youth are vocal against Naxalism: Chhattisgarh. The youth here are now becoming vocal against the violence that has been going on for four decades in Bastar.
On Friday, a group of young men and women from the affected Naxal-affected areas reached Bastar IG Sundarraj P and SP Deepak Jha when their pain was relieved.
The youth believe that Naxalites are needlessly killing villagers. Pul-culia, they are stopping development by damaging the road. Basic amenities like education, health, drinking water, etc. are not available to the villagers.
Ambulances do not reach the villages due to the cutting of roads and sick people have to walk for miles on the cot. The youth said that they want peace to be established in Bastar.
A new chapter of development should begin. The youth, while speaking before the IG, said that with the spread of education, the thinking of the new generation is changing.
The pain of lagging behind in development and the truth of not being able to achieve happiness and self-sufficiency in the Naxalite affair has started to be understood by the youth.
In the interiors, the issue is also fast emerging that the external Naxalites are tricking the local youths and making them work against violence and development.
In fact, the police in Bastar have also started a Bastar-Tata Mata (Voice of Bastar) campaign to alert the villagers to Naxalism.
Bastar IG Sundararaj P says that the government, police, administration, and society are all trying their own way to end the Naxalite problem.
The Naxalites have been taking advantage of the ignorance of the youth till now, but are now becoming aware by understanding the tribal and anti-development moves of the Naxalites.
The youth said that harassment of innocent villagers at the behest of external Maoist leaders will no longer be tolerated.
Social organizations are also making efforts under the banner of the new peace process for liberation from Naxalite violence.
On October 2, a webinar organized on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, villagers from remote Naxal areas of Bastar spoke out loud.
The results of a survey were also released on this occasion, in which about four thousand youth advocated solving the Naxal problem through dialogue.
