For the first time, at least 30 villages in Maoist-affected Bastar will celebrate Republic Day with the national flag instead of black flags. Security camps were set up in regions once dominated by Maoists, creating space for the Tricolour. Child victims of IED blasts highlight the ongoing threat of Maoist-planted explosives in the area.
