Youth from Gadchiroli not joining Naxal movement anymore: Maha DyCM Fadnavis
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadanvis on Monday said youth from the Naxalism-affected Gadchiroli district in Vidarbha are not joining the outlawed movement anymore and the new recruits are brought from Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
Speaking in the Maharashtra Assembly, Fadnavis, who is also the state home minister, said his stand remains the same as was of former home minister R R Patil, who acted tough against the Left Wing Extremism.
"Today, the youth of Gadchiroli are not joining the Naxal dalams. They have to bring recruits from Chhattisgarh and Odisha," Fadnavis said.
He was replying to queries raised by opposition members over Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA Dharamrao Atram getting threats from Naxalites demanding stopping of the Surjagarh mining project in Gadchiroli district.

Thanekars divided about MMRDA's recent plan to ease traffic at Teen hath Naka
The MMRDA has approved a Rs 300 crore plan to construct two 'U' shaped flyovers in addition to the existing one at Teen Hath Naka Junction to reduce the waiting time at the signals. The authorities also plan to remove signals once the project is completed. While some sections of people welcomed the news, a section of experts, activists and residents begged to differ.
Residents of Thane have mixed feelings regarding the construction of the flyover.
An auto-rickshaw driver, who refuses to take this route during peak hours due to the long wait, finds it unsafe driving on the intersection as he has met with a couple of minor accidents previously.
Sneha Singh, a social activist from Thane said, “We are not against development, we appreciate that MMRDA is taking steps to decongest the junction. But we are unsure the flyovers will help decongest the junction. A similar U-shaped flyover at Majiwada Junction is a total failure, people rarely use that circuitous flyover, instead they use the main road below the bridge. Similarly, it is unlikely that these two bridges will successfully decongest the traffic at the junction."
