In a triumphant moment for Chhattisgarh’s security apparatus, 50 Naxal insurgents, with 32 being women, laid down their arms in Kanker district. The surrender, which included the deposition of 39 weapons, represents a critical blow to Maoist influence. The group comprised several influential Naxal commanders, bolstering the morale of anti-Maoist operations. This marks the first significant surrender from the northern Maad territory, and security agencies are preparing for an expected additional 120 surrenders in Bijapur. Enhanced community outreach efforts are underway to encourage more cadres to return to peaceful lives.
