In the North Eastern States, the overall security situation has substantially improved in 2010 as compared to the situation in the previous year,” said a Ministry of Home Affairs release.
“The Naxal violence continued unabated, but security forces are engaging naxalites in the areas dominated by them with a view to re-establishing the authority of the civilian government,” the release adds.
