Union Home Ministry has said there has been visible improvement in the security scenario in the country since the Narendra Modi government assumed office four years ago.
The Ministry said this has been made possible due to sustained action against terrorists and negotiations with extremists groups which abide by the Constitution.
In a booklet, Country First, released a day after the completion of four years of the Modi government, the Home Ministry said special initiatives have been taken to accelerate development in Left-Wing Extremism-hit areas, the northeastern region, Jammu and Kashmir, along the international borders and the coastal areas.
The Ministry said there has been 63 per cent decline in insurgency incidents in the northeast, 83 per cent reduction in civilian deaths and 40 per cent decrease in security forces casualty in the region. It also says geographical spread of the Left Wing Extremism-hit areas has been reduced from 76 districts in 2013 to 58 in 2018.
