Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba reviewed the Left Wing Extremism (LWE) scenario with Chief Secretaries and DGPs of affected states in New Delhi.
An official release said it was noted that there has been a consistent decline in violence and considerable shrinkage in the geographical spread of LWE in the last five years.
The review of LWE affected districts last year resulted in a reduction of Security Related Expenditure (SRE) districts from 126 to 82.
Making mobile communication more effective and improvement in the working conditions of the security forces deployed were also discussed in the meeting.
Union Home Secretary stated the need for continued operations and stressed upon filling up areas of the security vacuum.
