17 Maoist cadres, militia members from Chhattisgarh's strife- torn south Bastar region surrender before police in Telangana
As many as 17 Maoist cadres and militia members from the Dandakaranya forest region in neighbouring Chhattisgarh have returned to the mainstream by turning themselves in before the police in Kothagudem town on Friday, police said. Among them are two Area Committee Members (ACMs), four party members, and 11 militia members, all hailing from the restive south Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. According to police, 282 Maoists of various cadres mostly from the Maoist-affected Bijapur and Sukma districts of Chhattisgarh have surrendered before the Bhadradri Kothagudem district police so far this year. One of the main factors that prompted them to abjure the path of violence and return to the mainstream is the prompt implementation of welfare measures under the 'Operation Cheyutha' programme of the district police for rehabilitation of the surrendered Maoists, police said. Addressing the media in Kothagudem, Superintendent of Police B. Rohit Raju said, 'At present CPI (Maoist) cadres are moving in the forested stretch along the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border.' 'Those residing in these border villages should desist from extending any cooperation to Maoists. They should alert the police if they notice any movement of the cadres of the outlawed organisation,' the SP added.
