Tricolour Raised in 29 Bastar Villages for First Time Since Independence

Seventy-eight years after India gained independence, the national flag was hoisted in 29 villages across the Bastar region, marking a historic shift. This event, occurring on Independence Day, signified the end of an era where the red flag of Naxalites held sway. This moment is a testament to the efforts of security forces, governmental resolve, and the rising hopes of the villagers, fostering peace and progress in areas previously under Naxal control. The unfurling of the tricolour in these villages represents a significant transformation, achieved through the bravery of security personnel, the commitment of both state and central governments, and the trust of local communities.
