Is the red corridor gradually fading off on our country’s security map? Suggest your ideas for the complete removal of the red corridor from the same.
Red Corridor:

- It is spanning across 90 districts in 11 States, namely Bihar, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Telangana, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
Shrinking trend:
- The districts affected by extremism stand at 106 in 10 states as on 12 February 2016.
- As of February 2019, 90 districts across 11 states are affected by extremism.
- As of December 2017, 105 districts across 9 states are affected by extremism.
Necessities for faster results:
- Efficient and faster implementation of infrastructure projects like roads, schools in the naxal hit areas.
- Giving adequate resources to the local governing institutions for their vibrant functioning.
- Swift implementation of Forest rights acts which could appease the forest dwellers.
- Augmenting cooperation of states on multiple dimensions for quicker results
- Ensuring livelihood opportunities for those affected left wing extremism.
- Religious implementation of surrender and rehabilitation policies of both central and state governments (which could motivate the naxal fighters to give up fighting)
- Mechanisms to check corruption in government machinery.
Way Forward:
- The Left Wing Extremism is one of the thorns which pierce the fabric of India’s security. Its complete eradication from the Indian soil is of utmost necessity for a secured as well as stable India.
