28 Naxalites quit arms: Group with Rs 89 lakh bounty surrenders in Chhattisgarh; cites govt scheme as reason

Twenty-eight Naxalites, including 19 women and 22 cadres with rewards totaling Rs 89 lakh, surrendered in Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur district. Driven by development initiatives and rehabilitation policies, the surrender reflects a shift away from Maoist ideology.
