Jagdalpur, President Droupadi Murmu on Friday said that Chhattisgarh was freed from the menace of Naxalism with the combined efforts of central and state governments, and it is now on the path of progress by leaving the pain of Maoist violence behind.
“Chhattisgarh had grappled with the menace of Naxalism for a long time. The President said she was confident that these efforts would help achieve the goal of building a developed India by 2047 through equitable development.
Describing trees and plants as “living gods”, President Murmu urged people to protect forests and plant more trees, saying they provide the essentials for sustaining life. But with the joint efforts of the Centre and the state, Chhattisgarh was freed from the menace of Naxalism, and has been rapidly moving on the path of progress,” she said. Leaving the pain of Naxal violence behind, Chhattisgarh has been progressing rapidly, according to her. I have been informed that efforts to provide financial facilities to tribal entrepreneurs and connect them with markets have been accelerated,” she said. “Tribal youth will actively participate in the country’s journey towards becoming a developed nation,” Murmu said. Pointing out that a tree takes years to grow, she said people should not only worship trees but also take responsibility for planting and nurturing them.
“Several avenues of development are opening up before Chhattisgarh today, and I congratulate the Centre and the state for this.
