The odd part
Fighting a decades-old insurgency with the ultimate bureaucratic weapon: an Excel sheet deadline.
What happened
In a bold move that has left calendars everywhere trembling, the Ministry of Home Affairs has reaffirmed that Naxalism will be officially deleted from India by March 31, 2026. This hard deadline suggests that if any insurgents remain after the date, they will be strictly reminded that their rebellion is now out of compliance with government schedules. Security forces are reportedly in 'mission mode,' presumably ensuring that the red corridor is repainted to a more approved administrative shade before the final audit.
