Raipur, 26 January 2025: As a result of the efforts of the government led by Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai in Chhattisgarh, for the first time on the occasion of Republic Day, the tricolor was hoisted with pride in 26 sensitive Naxal-affected villages of Bastar division. For the first time after independence, the national festival was celebrated in these villages, which is the result of the strong will of the state government and the continuous efforts of Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma. In the last one year, 26 new security camps were set up in the interior and remote areas of Bastar division. These camps are not only strengthening the security system, but are also acting as centers of development. In these villages, local villagers along with the police and security forces hoisted the tricolor and celebrated Republic Day.
