In a significant development in Chhattisgarh’s anti-Naxal campaign, 22 Maoist insurgents\u2014carrying cumulative bounties of \u20b937.5 lakh\u2014have surrendered in Narayanpur district. The surrendered cadres had rewards ranging from \u20b950,000 to \u20b98 lakh on their heads.<\/p>\n

Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, in a statement shared on microblogging platform X, said, \u201cPeople now choose the path of development over the barrel of a gun.\u201d He added that a total of 1,476 Maoists have surrendered under the current government.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the success of the government’s renewed rehabilitation strategy, CM Sai attributed the positive shift to the Surrender and Rehabilitation Policy 2025 and welfare-driven initiatives like the ‘Niyad Nellanar’ programme, which have fostered trust among locals and rebels alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fully committed to the reintegration of these surrendered cadres into mainstream society,\u201d the Chief Minister said, reiterating the state\u2019s and Centre\u2019s joint resolve to eradicate Naxalism completely by March 31, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
