Ten Naxalites including four minors surrender in Chhattisgarh

Ten Naxalites including four minors surrendered in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada district on Wednesday, police said.

The surrendered Naxalites were residents of Rekhawaya village in neighbouring Narayanpur district and worked under the Indravati area committee of the Maoists in the south Bastar



region, said Dantewada Superintendent of Police Gaurav Rai.

With this, 815 Naxalites — including 180 who were carrying cash rewards on their heads — have so far quit violence in the district under the ‘Lon Varratu’ (return to your home) campaign launched in June 2020 by the police, officials said.
