TFP Bureau, Raipur, July 11, 2025: In a major breakthrough in Chhattisgarh’s fight against Maoist insurgency, 22 Naxal cadres surrendered in Narayanpur district, carrying a combined bounty of ₹37.5 lakh. The surrendered rebels had individual rewards ranging from ₹50,000 to ₹8 lakh.
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai hailed the development as a sign of changing public sentiment, stating on social media platform X, “People now choose the path of development over the barrel of a gun.” He noted that since the current government took office, a total of 1,476 Maoists have laid down arms.
The Chief Minister credited the success to the state’s comprehensive Surrender and Rehabilitation Policy 2025 and welfare initiatives like the ‘Niyad Nellanar’ program, which have helped build trust between the administration, local communities, and former rebels.
Emphasizing the government’s commitment, CM Sai reaffirmed the joint determination of the State and Central governments to completely eradicate Naxalism in Chhattisgarh by March 31, 2026, and pledged continued support for the reintegration of surrendered cadres into mainstream society.
