Meanwhile, Shah will embark on a two-day visit to Chhattisgarh on June 22 and 23, underlining the central government’s commitment to bolstering internal security and development in the region. The visit is expected to strengthen coordination between the Centre and the state in combating left-wing extremism and accelerating growth, especially in vulnerable and backwards districts.
Shah will begin his visit at Atal Nagar in Nava Raipur on June 22, where he will lay the foundation stones and inaugurate key central government institutions to enhance regional administrative and scientific capabilities. Among the major projects is the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU), the newly constructed campus in Raipur, part of a broader national initiative to strengthen forensic infrastructure and criminal justice systems.
On June 23, Amit Shah will visit Narayanpur, one of the state’s most Naxal-affected districts. He will meet security personnel stationed in forward areas to boost morale and assess operational requirements.
Shah will interact with local villagers and tribal communities to evaluate the impact of central development schemes such as the PM Awas Yojana, road connectivity projects under PMGSY, and skill development initiatives. The Home Minister will also review progress on rehabilitation colonies and welfare programs for families affected by insurgency. (ANI)
