In a significant development in Odisha’s ongoing anti-Maoist operations, 10 Maoists surrendered before police at the Phulbani Reserve Police Ground in Kandhamal district on Wednesday.
The surrender ceremony took place in the presence of senior police officials, including Sanjeeb Panda, Additional Director General (Anti-Naxal Operations).
According to police sources, the group of surrendered Maoists includes one Special Zonal Committee Member, one Divisional Committee Member, and two Area Committee Members. The surrender of these cadres indicates that several mid-level leaders of the banned Maoist organisation have chosen to abandon the armed movement and join the mainstream.
Officials said the development reflects the increasing pressure on Maoist groups due to intensified security operations and continuous appeals by the government for insurgents to lay down arms.
Security forces have been conducting sustained anti-Maoist operations in the forested regions of Kandhamal district and neighbouring areas. These operations have significantly weakened Maoist networks in the state in recent years.
Authorities believe the state government’s surrender and rehabilitation policy has also played a major role in encouraging Maoist cadres to give up violence.
Under the policy, surrendered Maoists are provided financial incentives, vocational training and rehabilitation assistance to help them reintegrate into society.
Police officials have repeatedly urged remaining Maoist cadres hiding in forested areas to surrender and take advantage of the rehabilitation scheme.
