More than 150 Maoists led by senior Naxal leader Rupesh and woman commander Ranita in-charge of Maad division of Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKZC) will surrender before the Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai and Home Minister Vijay Sharma in Jagdalpur (Bastar) on Friday.
Welcoming the move, Sharma said that the Maoist rebels in large strength are going to renounce the banned outfit and return to the mainstream. “The state government will roll out a “red carpet” welcome to them. The police department has carried out all preparations for the occasion in Jagdalpur”, he added.
