A Naxalite was killed in an encounter with security forces in Sukma district, Chhattisgarh. This year, 263 Maoist cadres have been neutralised in the state, with the majority in Bastar division, highlighting ongoing anti-Naxalite operations.

A Naxalite was killed in an encounter with security personnel in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district on Tuesday, a police official said.
The exchange of fire broke out in the morning on a forested hill under Errabor police station limits when a team of security personnel was out on an anti-Naxalite operation based on inputs about the presence of Maoist cadres in the area, he said.
So far, the body of one Naxalite has been recovered from the spot, he said. An intermittent gunfight was underway, and further details were awaited, he added.
On Sunday, three Naxalites were killed in an encounter with security personnel in the forested hills of Bhejji and Chintagufa police station areas of Sukma.
With the latest action, 263 Naxalites have been killed in encounters in Chhattisgarh so far this year.
Of them, 234 were eliminated in the Bastar division, comprising seven districts, including Sukma, while 27 others were gunned down in Gariaband district, which falls in the Raipur division.
Two Naxalites were killed in Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh Chowki district in Durg division.

22 Naxalites from Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur district surrender, influenced by disillusionment and development efforts, marking a trend towards peace and rehabilitation.

22 Naxalites Surrender in Chhattisgarh

In Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur, 22 Naxalites surrender due to disillusionment and development progress. This event marks a setback for Maoist leadership and highlights a shift toward peace.

22 Naxalites surrender in Narayanpur, citing disillusionment with Maoist ideology and development in the Maad area. They receive government assistance, highlighting an ongoing trend of de-escalation.

As many as 22 Naxalites, who were active in the Abhujmad area and carrying collective rewards of Rs 37.5 lakh, surrendered in Chhattisgarh&rsquo;s Narayanpur district on Friday, a senior police official said.
The cadres, belonging to Kutul, Nelnar and Indravati area committees under the Maad division of Maoists, turned themselves in before senior police, Border Security Force (BSF) and Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) officials here.
The surrendered Naxalites told the police that they were disappointed with the &ldquo;hollow&rdquo; Maoist ideology and growing internal differences within the banned outfit, Narayanpur Superintendent of Police Robinson Guria said.
They were also influenced by the development work being carried out in the Maad area in the district, including rapid construction of roads, and wanted to lead a normal life, he said.
Of the Naxalites who gave up arms, Manku Kunjam (33), a divisional committee member, carried a reward of Rs 8 lakh, while three area committee members, identified as Hidme Kunjam (28), Punna Lal alias Boti (26) and Saniram Korram (25), carried a bounty of Rs 5 lakh each, the official said.
Eleven cadres had a bounty of Rs 1 lakh each, while seven others had Rs 50,000 each, he said.
Naranpur police, its District Reserve Guard, ITBP and BSF have played a key role in their surrender. The development has caused a huge blow to the top Maoist cadres. The dream of Naxal-free Maad is taking shape, Guria said.
All the surrendered Naxalites were provided assistance of Rs 50,000 each and would be rehabilitated as per the government&rsquo;s policy, he said.
With this surrender, 132 Naxalites have quit violence in the district so far this year.
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai hailed the success and said that Naxalites now want to shun guns and walk together on the path of development. The &lsquo;double engine&rsquo; government (BJP rule at the Centre and in the state) is committed to rooting out Naxalism by March 31, 2026, he said.
&ldquo;22 Naxalites carrying a bounty of Rs 37.5 lakh have surrendered in Narayanpur district. Rewards ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 8 lakh had been declared on them. So far, 1,476 Maoists have surrendered to our government (formed in December 2023),&rdquo; Sai said in a statement.
The laying down of arms by so many Naxalites points to the success of the government's new surrender and rehabilitation policy and public welfare schemes, he said.
&ldquo;Schemes like 'Niyad Nellnar' (your good village) have instilled confidence, and people have been quitting violence and returning to the mainstream of development. We are fully determined for the rehabilitation of these surrendered Naxalites,&rdquo; the CM added.

The Madhya Pradesh cabinet on Tuesday approved the creation of 850 temporary posts for a special support squad aimed at combating Naxalite activities in Mandla, Dindori, and Balaghat districts.
Each squad member will receive an honorarium of Rs 25,000 per month, amounting to a total expenditure of Rs 25 crore, said Minister for Urban Development and Housing Kailash Vijayvargiya.
He said Union Home Minister Amit Shah has been actively working to eliminate Naxalism by 2026.
Referring to his recent meeting with Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Vijayvargiya noted that Naxalites are increasingly surrendering.
Stressing that Naxalism doesn't exist in Madhya Pradesh, Vijayvargiya cited information about the movement of Naxals around Mandla, Dindori, and Balaghat districts.
"Therefore, the cabinet has decided to create 850 posts for a year. People from local villages, who can collaborate with the government and provide information on Naxalite movements, will be selected for these posts," he told reporters after attending the cabinet meeting.
Among other decisions, the council of ministers also approved a proposal to increase the cash award for medal winners from Madhya Pradesh in the 2024 Paralympics to Rs 1 crore from Rs 50 lakh.
Earlier, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav had announced the Rs 1 crore honorarium for Paralympics medalists Rubina Francis and Kapil Parmar for their outstanding performances.

22 naxalites surrender in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur, weakening movement

22 Naxalites surrendered in Bijapur due to disillusionment with Maoist ideology and internal conflicts. Encouraged by government development schemes, these surrenders may weaken the movement.

At least 22 Naxalites, including four carrying a collective bounty of Rs 26 lakh, surrendered before security forces in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district on Tuesday, police said.
This comes a day after 26 Naxalites quit the outlawed CPI (Maoist) in the neighbouring Dantewada district.
The cadres, including six women, turned themselves in before senior officials from the police and Central Reserve Police Forces (CRPF), citing disappointment with the "hollow" and "inhuman" Maoist ideology and growing differences within the outfit, Bijapur Superintendent of Police Jitendra Kumar Yadav said.
Yadav said they were also impressed by the state government's 'Niyad Nellanar' (your good village) scheme, aimed at facilitating development works in remote villages around security camps.
He said the development works in interior pockets and villages getting access to basic amenities were also key reasons for the surrender.
Of the surrendered cadres, Kamli Hemla (32), a member of PLGA (People's Liberation Guerilla Army) battalion no. 1 of Maoists, and Muya Madvi (19), a party member in a company under the Telangana state committee, carried a reward of Rs 8 lakh each, the official said.
He said Sonu Tati (28), a press team commander in the west Bastar division of Maoists, and Mahesh Punem, a PLGA member in the Bhairamgarh area committee, carried a bounty of Rs 5 lakh each.
The SP said 179 Naxalites have quit violence in the district so far this year.
Besides, 83 Baxalites have been killed and 172 arrested in separate incidents in the district during this period, he said.
The surrendered Naxalites were provided assistance of Rs 50,000 each and will be further rehabilitated as per the government's policy, he said.
In 2024, at least 792 Naxalites had surrendered in the Bastar region, comprising seven districts, including Bijapur and Dantewada, police said.

Eight jawans of the District Reserve Guard (DRG) and a civilian driver were killed after Naxals blew up their vehicle with a powerful improvised explosive device (IED) in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district on Monday, police said.
This was the biggest strike by Maoists on security forces in the state in the last two years and the first assault in 2025.
Maoists detonated the IED near Ambeli village under Kutru police station area at around 2.15 pm when DRG personnel from Dantewada district were returning in their Scorpio vehicle after an anti-Naxalite operation, Inspector General of Police (Bastar Range) Sundarraj P said.
All eight DRG jawans travelling in the SUV and the driver of the vehicle were killed on the spot, the official added.
The DRG is a unit of the state police and its personnel are mostly recruited from local tribal population and also from surrendered Naxalites.
Reinforcement was rushed to the spot and the bodies of the deceased were being evacuated, he said.
A search operation has been launched in the area by security forces, the IPS officer informed.
These DRG personnel were involved in an anti-Naxalite operation carried out for three days on the borders of Narayanpur, Dantewada and Bijapur districts by joint teams of security personnel, the IG said.
Five Naxalites were killed in the three-day-long operation and one DRG head constable also lost his life, he said.
After the operation, DRG personnel from Dantewada were returning to their base in the vehicle when the attack occurred in Kutru area, Sundarraj added.
The last site is around 400 km from state capital Raipur. Visuals from the spot showed a huge crater, more than 10-feet deep, splitting the concrete road after the blast.
The vehicle was completely destroyed in the explosion while dismembered bodies were seen placed on plastic sheets. A part of the vehicle was seen hanging on a nearby tree.
Expressing grief over the death of DRG personnel and the civilian driver, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said Naxalites are frustrated with the ongoing counter-insurgency operation in the Bastar region and therefore, have resorted to such cowardly acts.
Martyrdom of jawans will not go in vain, he asserted.
"The news of the martyrdom of 8 jawans and a driver in an IED blast carried out by Naxalites in Kutru of Bijapur district is extremely sad. My condolences are with the families of the martyrs. I pray to God to rest the souls of the martyred soldiers in peace and provide strength to the bereaved families," Sai said in a statement.
"Naxalites are frustrated with the ongoing anti-Naxal operation in Bastar and have committed such cowardly act out of frustration. The martyrdom of the soldiers will not go in vain. Our fight to end the menace will continue strongly," he added.
In the past, numerous attacks have taken place on security forces in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, comprising seven districts including Dantewada, using IEDs.
In the last major assault, ten police personnel and a civilian driver were killed after Naxals blew up their vehicle, part of a convoy carrying security personnel in neighbouring Dantewada district, on April 26, 2023.
