Dantewada, Three Naxalites surrendered before security forces in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh on Wednesday. A senior police officer gave this information.
Dantewada Superintendent of Police Gaurav Rai said Nande Madkam (24), Malle Muchaki (25) and Kesha Gonche (22) gave themselves up, citing frustration with the "hollow" and "inhuman" Maoist ideology.
S said these cadres were tasked with digging roads, cutting trees to block roads and putting up posters and banners during the bandh called by Naxalites.
Madakam belonged to the Krantikari Mahila Adivasi Sangathan (KAMS) under the Burgum Panchayat of the illegal organisation. Muchaki was a member of Chetan Natya Mandali, the cultural wing of the Maoist organization under Gondera Panchayat, while Gonche was its militia member.
"He was part of the Malanger area committee of the Maoists in South Bastar. He said he was impressed by the police rehabilitation campaign 'Lone Varatu (Return to your home)' and was disappointed with the hollow Maoist ideology," Ra said.
He said all three would be provided facilities as per the surrender rehabilitation policy of the government.
Officials said that with this, so far 799 Naxalites, including 180 with cash reward, have joined the mainstream in the district under the Lone Varatu campaign launched in June 2020.
