Sukma: While Union Home Minister Amit Shah was addressing the Naxalism issue in Raipur, security forces achieved significant success in Sukma where five hardcore Naxalites surrendered before the police here on Sunday. According to the police, they are carrying a reward of Rs 25 lakh.
Sukma SP Kiran Chavan confirmed that among the surrendered Naxalites was a couple, with a total reward of Rs 25 lakh announced for the group. All five individuals will receive benefits under the Chhattisgarh government's Naxal rehabilitation policy, including an incentive of Rs 25,000 each.
