In Chhattisgarh, the ‘Red Terror’ is losing ground due to the government’s strategy and the bravery of the security forces. Frightened by the continuous search operations conducted by the security forces and influenced by the Chhattisgarh government’s rehabilitation policy, a large number of Naxals are abandoning their weapons and joining the mainstream. In this series, 71 Naxals surrendered together in Dantewada district. These included 30 Naxals with a total reward of 64 lakhs.
