23 Naxalites carrying a bounty of Rs 1.18 crore returned to the mainstream in Sukma, 1521 left violence in the last 15 months
Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai said – ‘Now the voice of development is resonating, not the bullet of the gun’
Raipur 12 July 2025: Winds of change are blowing in the remote areas of Chhattisgarh. Bastar is changing, guns are stopping and the flame of democracy is now burning in every corner. In this changing environment, today 23 Naxalites carrying a bounty of ₹ 1.18 crore have surrendered in Sukma district. Including these, in the last 24 hours, a total of 45 Naxalites have expressed faith in the democratic system by abandoning the path of violence. Expressing his reaction to this unprecedented development through the social media platform X, Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai said that this is not just a surrender, but a symbol of the victory of faith, which our government has taken to every village through people-oriented schemes like ‘Niyad Nella Naar’. Now, instead of the sound of gunfire, the voice of development is being heard here.
Chief Minister Sai said that in the last 15 months, 1521 Naxalites have surrendered, which is a clear proof that the reach and trust of the government in Naxal-affected areas has continuously increased. This success also reflects the positivity of the state government’s ‘New Surrender and Rehabilitation Policy 2025’, under which the Naxalites who give up arms are being given not only social respect but also rehabilitation and livelihood opportunities. Chief Minister Sai said that this change is a living example of the vision of good governance being run under the leadership of the successful Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and the guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah ji. He expressed confidence that our state will be completely free from Naxalism within the stipulated time frame and every citizen of Bastar region will join the mainstream of development.
