The home minister said Naxalism is the biggest enemy of development, peace and the bright future of youth.

“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, we are determined to free the country from the scourge of Naxalism,” he said.

At least 29 Naxalites were killed in an encounter with security personnel in Chhattisgarh’s Kanker district on Tuesday, police officials said.

Three security personnel suffered injuries in the fierce gun-battle and a large quantity of weapons was also seized from the spot, they said.
