Naxalism

Sonu and Devuji who belong to the senior leadership of CPI (M) have a bounty of Rs 1 crore on each of them.

The slain terrorists have been identified as Lalu Lohara, Chhotu Oraon, and Sujit Oraon. Gumla SP Haris Bin Zaman confirmed this. Lalu Lohara and Chhotu Oraon, both carrying a reward of five lakh rupees, made this police action even more significant.

In a purported statement, the outlawed Communist Party of India (Maoist), expressed readiness to give up arms and asked the Central government to announce a one-month ceasefire and pause the ongoing anti-Naxal operations

According to the Hazaribagh SP, Sahdev Soren alias Parvesh, a member of the Central Committee, carried a reward of Rs 1 crore.

Many among the Naxals were involved in high-profile attacks, extortion networks, ambushes against security personnel and arms training camps.

This was the first time the villagers had seen a bus service arrive in the village in over 7 decades since independence.

On one hand, the security forces are eliminating Maoist-Naxalite ‘leaders’, on the other, the government is ensuring proper rehabilitation and mainstreaming of the surrendered Naxals as part of Naxal Mukt India program.

CM Fadnavis highlighted that around 64 left-wing organisations are currently active in Maharashtra, which is the highest number across all states.

The recent killing of Maoist leader Basavaraju, who used to walk around with a multi-layer security cover of about of 60-70 armed naxals, demonstrates the enhanced accuracy of the security forces in carrying out recent anti-naxal operations.

Despite the challenges, the security forces and the government relentlessly continued their efforts to end the Naxal menace in not only Abujhmadh but the entire Dandakaranya region.
