Addressing the closing ceremony of the Bastar Olympics 2025 in Jagdalpur, Mr Shah said the Centre and the Chhattisgarh government were working in close coordination to ensure that peace, development and opportunity replace decades of conflict in the region.

With Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma present, Mr Shah said the government's resolve was not limited to ending violence but extended to transforming Bastar into one of the country’s most developed tribal regions by December 2030.
