Chhattisgarh: Around Nine Naxals have surrendered in Sukma on Wednesday in the presence of Superintendent of Police Kiran Gangaram Chavan, officials said.
Following the surrender, speaking to the media, SP Chavan stated that the surrendered Naxalites would receive all benefits under the government’s surrender policy.
“Influenced by the operations being carried out, nine Naxalites have surrendered today. These Naxalites were involved in some major incidents. They have surrendered today, and they will be given all the benefits under the government’s surrender policy,” he said.
Earlier, on March 21, Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that 2,619 Naxalites had either been arrested, surrendered, or killed in the past year due to the BJP government’s approach in Chhattisgarh, which came to power in December 2023.
Replying to the debate in Rajya Sabha on the working of his ministry, he said Naxalism will be eliminated from the country by March 21, 2026.
“Let me tell you that by March 21, 2026, Naxalism will be completely eradicated from our country. This is the result of the hard work of the Modi government over the past 10 years,” he said.
