Narayanpur: Five Naxalites have surrendered before the District Collector and SP on Saturday.
All the surrendered Naxalites were recruited in the Bastar division between 2016 and 2018.
They were assigned different responsibilities.
Due to the Naxal eradication campaign being run by the Narayanpur Police, the pressure on the militia members involved in the banned Naxal organization is increasing while staying in the village.
And being influenced by the rehabilitation policy of the government, leaving the Naxal organization and joining the mainstream of the society on Saturday, five Naxalites surrendered before District Collector Dharmesh Kumar Sahu and SP Mohit Garg.
The administration provided an incentive of Rs 10,000 each to the surrendered Naxalites. The Naxalite who surrendered includes Maharaji Kashyap, Jagdish Nag, Jagnath Nag, Chaitram Korram and Lacchin Nag.
