Solution and Explanation

Salva Judum was a militia movement in Chhattisgarh, India, formed in 2005 to counter Maoist insurgency.
It consisted of armed civilians, many of them tribal youth, supported by the state government.
In 2011, the Supreme Court of India declared Salva Judum unconstitutional, ruling that the arming of civilians violated fundamental rights and promoted violence.
The court ordered the disbanding of the group and rehabilitation of its members.
