38 members of CPI (Maoist) from Chhattisgarh surrender before Kothagudem police
As security forces intensified anti-Maoist 'Operation Kagar' in neighbouring Chhattisgarh's south Bastar region, as many as 38 militia and front organisation members of the outlawed CPI (Maoist) from the strife-torn Bijapur district surrendered before the police in Telangana's Kothagudem town on Friday.
They hail from Ampuram, Gomuguda and Rasapalli villages under Pamed police station limits in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh. They have voluntarily surrendered before Bhadrari Kothagudem Superintendent of Police B. Rohit Raju, impressed by the rehabilitation policy of Telangana government for the surrendered Maoists, the police said.
Those who surrendered include two CPI (Maoist) members, 16 militia members, seven Village Committee Members (VCMs), six Krantikari Adivasi Mahila Sanghatan (KAMS) members, three Chetana Natya Mandali (CNM) members and four Grama Rakshaka Dalams (GRDs) members.
According to the police, a total of 265 CPI (Maoist) members working in various cadres in the banned organisation have surrendered before the Bhadradri Kothagudem district police so far this year.

Two more held in Assam for anti-national, communal acts after Pahalgam attack; total arrests rise to 90
GUWAHATI: Two more persons have been arrested in Assam in an ongoing crackdown on "anti-national and communal elements", Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Saturday. With these, the number of arrests in such cases in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack has reached 90. "Update on crackdown against Anti-national and communal elements - 7 Jun - 90 arrests till now," Sarma said in a post on X. One person has been apprehended by Goalpara police for making "offensive social media post on Lord Ram", and another by Kamrup police for "inciting communal discord" through social media. The state police have been taking action against people for "anti-India" and "pro-Pakistan" activities, including posts on social media, since the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed. Among those arrested on the anti-national charge was opposition AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam. He was initially arrested on sedition charges for allegedly "defending" Pakistan and its complicity in the Pahalgam attack. After he secured bail in that case, he was held under the stringent National Security Act. Sarma had earlier said that the state-wide crackdown on traitors would continue.
