Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the fight against Maoists in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region is now in the final stage of victory. He said CRPF has played an important role in reducing the influence of Maoists. Union Minister was addressing the 84th CRPF Rising Day ceremony today at Jagdalpur, the headquarters of Bastar division in Chhattisgarh. He said that CRPF jawans risked their lives to bring development to tribals.
During the event, the Union Minister virtually launched the weekly news bulletin in Halbi dialect to be broadcast by All India Radio. Appreciating the efforts of All India Radio, Amit Shah said that this not only strengthens local language but also serves news to people of Bastar in their own language.
Chief Executive officer of Prasar Bharati Gaurav Dwivedi was also present on the occasion. While talking to media, he said that local languages and dialects prove to be most effective in providing news and other information to people in remote rural areas.
