LWE Eliminated From Bihar And Jharkhand
In 2010, nearly 100 districts in the country were under total domination of Maoists. Today, only 30 districts have a presence of Maoists, and they are nowhere as powerful in their areas as even eight years ago.
Incidents of violence involving Maoists are down from 2,258 in 2009 to 509 in 2021.Death rate is down by 85 per cent: the death toll in Maoist-related violence was 1,005 in 2010; it was down to 147 in 2021.
Of 32 Maoist-linked incidents in 2022, two were incidents of killing, which resulted in four fatalities, all Maoists (data until 25 September 2022)
The arc of violence has been considerably restricted with just 30 districts accounting 88% of the LWE violence. The Communist Party of India (CPI) (Maoist) continues to be the most potent among the various LWE outfits in the country and accounted for more than 86% of total LWE violent incidents and 96% of resultant deaths.
While the success of eliminating LWE from Bihar and Jharkhand is to be lauded still the core is intact in Chhattisgarh.Following needs to be done:-
Strengthening and upgrading security forces, strengthening intelligence gathering, cutting off funds for Maoists, cracking down on overground sympathisers and workers, and ‘urban Naxals’and confining them to the jungles will have to be done. An all out assault will then have to be launched.
Boost to Make For World-Kalyani strategic systems gets howitzer export order worth USD 155 million

The company has been working with Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to develop the advanced tower artillery gun system (ATAGS) and has also developed an ultra-light howitzer.

After Pinaka, another Indian Artillery System to be exported
The 155 mm artillery gun, which has been indigenously designed and manufactured, will be delivered to the friendly foreign nation over the next three years. The company has not disclosed the customer or the number of guns to be supplied but has said that the order is for a "non-conflict zone"
The AAP government in Punjab has demonstrated lack of political will in taking action against perpetrators.
Punjab has recorded 29,400 paddy crop residue burning events in the current harvest season from September 15 to November 5, as against 28,792 during the same period last year. The state has some 50,000 tractor-drawn happy, super and smart seeders that can remove the standing paddy stubble and incorporate it into the soil, while simultaneously sowing the seeds of the next wheat crop. These — along with an equal number of other machines (mulchers, rotavators, straw balers, choppers, reversible mould board ploughs, etc) — should, at least on paper, enable a significant part of Punjab’s wheat area to be planted without setting fields on fire. That’s not happening. A ground report has shown even farmers having access to the machines taking the easy way out, unmindful of the public health costs, while Haryana is winning the fight against stubble burning.
