| Summary / Abstract (Note) | L
eft-wing Extremism (LWE) continues to remain one of the major
challenges to India’s internal security. Its intensity continues to
persist especially in three states – Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and
Orissa – apart from a significant presence in West Bengal, Bihar, and
Maharashtra. At the same time, the left-wing extremists have
successfully managed to penetrate in some of the states of the
northeast and south India, and into a few urban areas. Interestingly,
there is a reduction in the number of middle and top-level Maoist
leaders due to killings, arrests or surrenders. Yet, one still cannot
assert with confidence that Left-wing Extremism is on the wane.
Significantly, the spread of Naxals beyond the ‘Red Corridor’ and their
external links are a cause for concern |
