Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Ten Naxalites, including four women, surrendered before Chief Minister Mohan Yadav in Balaghat on Sunday. CM integrated them into the mainstream by presenting them with a copy of the Constitution. The surrendered Naxalites handed over their weapons. These Left Wing Extremists have a combined reward of Rs 2.36 crore announced by different states.
CM Mohan Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh is committed to becoming Naxal-free in line with goals set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. “No one will be allowed to take up arms,” he said, urging Naxalites to embrace government rehabilitation programmes. He assured efforts to secure their lives, ensure development and integrate them into mainstream society.
While encouraging officers and security forces, the CM said anti-Naxal operations are being continuously strengthened. Fifteen new temporary camps and 882 posts for the Special Support Squad have been sanctioned. Continuous monitoring, intensive investigations, and actions have significantly reduced Naxalite presence.
Last year, 46 One-Stop Facility Centres were opened in Naxal-affected areas to provide employment, forest rights certificates, and other essential services. Paying tribute to martyr Ashish Sharma, CM announced out-of-turn promotions for 328 police officers, including Hawk Force personnel, who performed exemplary duties.
DGP Kailash Makwana said that anti-Naxal campaigns have been reinforced with new camps, increased Hawk Force and strengthened police presence.
