Raipur (Chhattisgarh) [India], July 23 (HBTV): Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai distributed 151 new vehicles to the state's health department, which will be allocated across all districts.

Speaking to the media, CM Sai said: ‘Our health department has been doing excellent work. The way the government is working to fulfil Modi's guarantee, good work is also happening in the health department. Today, old vehicles have been scrapped and 151 new vehicles have been given, which will go to all the districts of the state. Four to five vehicles will be sent to every district, and the officials of the department will be able to do better work in the field of health.’

These efforts are aimed at strengthening Chhattisgarh's healthcare infrastructure, with support from the central government.

The Chief Minister also reiterated his commitment to eliminating Naxalism from the state. On Tuesday, after meeting children from the Naxal-affected Sukma district at the Chhattisgarh Assembly, CM Sai said: ‘Naxalism is taking its last breaths. Our security forces have been fighting Naxalites with strength for the past one and a half years, and we are also benefiting from the double-engine government.’

He reaffirmed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s resolve to end Naxalism by 2026.

‘PM Modi and the Union Home Minister have resolved to eliminate Naxalism from the entire country by March 31, 2026, and their dream will also come true. Our forces are fighting with great strength,’ he added.

In a post on X, CM Sai praised the state's Niyad Nellanar Yojana, calling it a sign of progress in Naxal-affected villages. The post read: ‘New dawn in Naxal-affected areas. Niyad Nellanar Yojana is bringing prosperity to remote areas.’

Earlier on Saturday, 23 Naxalites, carrying a combined bounty of INR 1.18 crore, surrendered in Sukma district. The group included 14 men and nine women, all identified as hardcore Naxalites.

Sukma Superintendent of Police Kiran Chauhan said: ‘Twenty-three Naxalites have surrendered. All are hardcore Naxalites. They will be provided with facilities as per the government policy. On this occasion, I appeal to all Naxalites to lay down their arms and join the mainstream.’
