Why it matters
This marks a shift from security-focused operations to development-oriented governance in areas previously affected by Left-Wing Extremism.
Director General of Police (DGP) C.V. Anand on Monday visited the scenic Karreguttalu Hills (KGH), once a stronghold of the CPI (Maoists) on the Telangana–Chhattisgarh border, and called for developing it into a tourism destination supported by improved infrastructure and connectivity and outlined a vision to transform the area into a major tourist destination.
During a visit to the remote hill region, the DGP inspected ongoing road construction works in the densely forested area and unfurled the National Flag. He said the area, which had remained affected by Left Wing Extremism (LWE) for decades, was now witnessing a new phase of peace and development following sustained anti-Maoist operations.
