A big news has come out from Chhattisgarh. Chhattisgarh has been the biggest stronghold of Naxalism for the last four decades. In the 1980s, this terror that spread from Andhra had turned districts like Bastar, Dantewada, Bijapur red with blood. However, now Naxalites are laying down their arms and joining the mainstream of society. On March 28 this year, three Naxalites surrendered at Pratapur police station, which includes Sangeeta Kujam, Sanju and Lakhmu. All three had come to surrender without weapons. In 2025, security forces killed more than 500 Naxalites. Thousands of Naxalites laid down their arms.
