Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Bihar has been officially declared Naxal-free following the surrender of the last armed Maoist, Suresh Koda, in Munger. This marks the end of a long-standing insurgency that began in the 1970s and once severely affected the state, with as many as 23 districts impacted in 2012. Sustained security operations, development initiatives, and strong rehabilitation policies played a significant role in restoring normalcy. Authorities reported 220 arrests and zero Naxal-related incidents during 2025, reflecting the effectiveness of coordinated efforts to eliminate extremist activities and promote peace and stability across the state.
