CRPF records zero operational deaths in a year, first in 47 years

The CRPF has gone a full year without a single operational fatality for the first time since 1979. In 2025, eight personnel were killed in action in Left Wing Extremism areas, and 12 deaths were reported in 2024. No CRPF combat deaths have occurred since October 30, 2025, and no district is now Maoist-hit, versus over 100 at the peak.
