29 Naxalites surrendered before Narayanpur SP Prabhat Kumar in Kutul area of Chhattisgarh
Narayanpur: According to authorities, a major change occurred on Wednesday when up to 29 naxals from the Kutul area committee in Chhattisgarh turned themselves in before Narayanpur SP Prabhat Kumar.
Twenty-two males and seven women were among the Naxals who turned themselves in, according to the authorities. Prabhat Kumar, the SP for Narayanpur, said that the government is waging an anti-Naxalist campaign.
He went on to say that one effect of this development work is a noticeable shift in society.
“A movement against Naxalism is being carried out by us… Under this, efficient operations have been carried out, and development work has also been completed. As a result of this development activity, we are seeing a societal shift in the Kutul region. Individuals participating in naxal activities are turning themselves in: today, 29 individuals who were actively involved in naxal activities turned themselves in. The development effort has an impact on them,” Prabhat Kumar told ANI.
A Maoist training camp in the heart of PLGA Battalion No. 01, in the thick jungles of Bhattiguda, Bijapur district, was previously taken over by security forces. During the army’s search, the Maoists fled, leaving the camp abandoned.
The CoBRA units 201, 204, and 210 conducted the combined operation. On Tuesday, security troops broke into their encampment and destroyed the tribute to the Naxal martyrs. There were trenches, big trees set up for training, and other supplies at the Naxal’s training camp. It also included the Maoists’ permanent barracks and huts.
The operation has been described by officials as a significant setback to Maoist activity in the area and a step toward the destruction of their infrastructure. Security forces have reiterated their commitment to maintaining regional peace and stability.
A recent engagement in Gariaband, Chhattisgarh, resulted in the recovery of 16 Naxals’ dead after encountering security troops. The chief minister of Chhattisgarh emphasized the government’s will to eradicate naxalism in the state while highlighting the security forces’ accomplishments and their effectiveness in combating the Maoist menace.
Senior Maoist leaders were also killed in the Sunday-launched operation, and several weapons, including automatic weapons like SLR rifles, were retrieved.
