Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai has hailed cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar's visit to the Bastar region, once a Maoist stronghold, saying his tour is a matter of pride for the state and a strong source of inspiration for children and youth.

The Mumbai-based cricketer, a Bharat Ratna awardee, made a rare visit to Dantewada district on Wednesday as part of a grassroots sports initiative, three weeks after the CM declared Chhattisgarh as "Naxal-free".

Tendulkar's visit to Chhindnar village in Dantewada reflects a transformation of the wider Bastar region, moving from fear towards development, opportunity, and confidence, Sai said in a post on X on Wednesday.
