Narayanpur: Two Naxalites, carrying a collective reward of Rs 10 lakh on their heads, surrendered in Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur district.
The duo, including a woman, turned themselves in before senior police and Border Security Force (BSF) officials here, citing disappointment with the “hollow” and “inhuman” Maoist ideology and exploitation of innocent tribals by senior cadres.
The cadres were also impressed by efforts of the security forces and administration to facilitate development works in Abujhmaad region and improve the living standards of tribals, the official said.
The development work being carried out in the district has increased the people’s trust in security forces and the administration, they said.
The two were carrying a reward of Rs 5 lakh each on their heads, the official said.
