In a significant move, over 1,000 CRPF personnel have been redeployed from Chhattisgarh to Manipur amid escalating security concerns. This marks the initial full withdrawal of a battalion from anti-Naxal duties since the decline of armed Maoism. Previously, stationed in Sukma, this battalion has fought against Left Wing Extremism and conducted de-mining operations.
