Maoism almost ended in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar, Amit Shah says

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, speaking in the Lok Sabha during a discussion on Maoism, said that the movement has “almost finished” in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region. “Those who were advertising theory, a wrong narrative, a wrong dream was being presented in front of the innocent Tribal people that they are fighting for their rights, to bring justice to them... Today Naxalism is almost finished in Bastar, there was a movement to make school, ration shops at each village, 5 kg food grain is being distributed, we are making Aadhaar cards,” he said.

Trump threatens to strike Iran’s civilian infrastructure if no deal is reached

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday (March 30, 2026) threatened to strike Iran’s oil, power and water infrastructure if Tehran did not agree to a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz soon. “The United States of America is in serious discussions with a new and more reasonable regime to end our Military Operations in Iran,” Mr. Trump wrote in a social media post. “Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately “Open for Business,” we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!).”
