At present, 30 districts fall under this category, and the measures being undertaken are aimed at ensuring long-term stability and inclusive growth in these regions,” the MoS said.Between 2019 and 2025, the central forces, in collaboration with state police, established 320 camps in Naxal-affected states, including 68 night-landing helipads.
