Major Surrender of Naxalites in Chhattisgarh Marks a Turning Point
Significant Surrender of Naxal Leaders
Raipur/Khairaghar, Dec 8: In a pivotal development for law enforcement, twelve Naxalites, including the notorious CCM Ramdher Majji, have surrendered to police in the Khairagarh Chhuikhadan Gandai district of Chhattisgarh.
This event occurred at the Bakarkatta police station and represents a significant blow to the Maoist movement within the MMC (Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh) region.
Ramdher Majji, who had a bounty of Rs one crore on his head, was viewed as a major threat to police operations across Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh.
Majji, a member of the Central Committee active in the MMC zone, arrived with his divisional committee members and surrendered with various weapons, including an AK-47 rifle. Alongside him, ACM Ramsingh Dada and ACM Sukesh Pottam also laid down their arms.
The police reported the recovery of a significant arsenal, which included AK-47s, INSAS rifles, SLRs, .303 rifles, and 0.30 carbines. Notably, six women cadres were among those who surrendered, indicating the substantial role of women within the Maoist ranks.
The list of surrendering members includes Lakshmi, Sheela, Yogita, Kavita, and Sagar, along with DVCM (Divisional Committee Member) Lalita and DVCM Janaki. Other notable figures include DVCM Chandu Usendi and DVCM Prem.
Officials stated that this surrender has significantly weakened the Maoist network in the area.
According to police sources, this group had been operational in the special zonal committee area of Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh, orchestrating activities that posed a continuous threat to law enforcement.
The surrender of Ramdher Majji is being regarded as a critical turning point, with senior officials indicating that the MMC zone has nearly collapsed following his decision to disarm.
The Maoists, who have long been entrenched in forested areas and remote districts, are facing increasing pressure from coordinated security operations. The surrender of such high-ranking members—CCM, DVCM, ACM, and PM (Party Member)—highlights the effectiveness of intensified campaigns and outreach efforts aimed at diminishing the insurgency.
Authorities are optimistic that this development will inspire more Maoists to surrender, thereby reducing violence and fostering peace in the affected areas.
Currently, the surrender of Ramdher Majji and his associates is considered one of the most significant setbacks for Maoist influence in recent years, indicating the near dismantling of the operational framework of the MMC zone.
