Naxalism disappearing from jungles but taking root in urban centres: Modi

Prime Minister Mr. Modi has said that his government has worked hard on the security front and terror attacks and sleeper cells of terrorist attacks have disappeared not only from the news but from India as well. “Naxalism in the country is also on its last legs. In the past, over 100 districts were severely affected by this menace. However, this number has drastically reduced to around two dozen districts today,” Mr. Modi said.
