As many as 29 Naxalites surrendered before police in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district under the Poona Margem initiative. Officials said intensified anti-Naxal operations and rehabilitation policies played a key role in weakening Maoist influence in the region
Union Home Minister Amit Shah reiterates that the government is committed to eliminating naxal menace by March 2026, adding that those who surrender will become part of the mainstream while the rest will be taken on by security forces
