Operation Kagar and mass surrenders in Bastar

Operation Kagar and mass surrenders in Bastar

Operation Kagar is a big effort by the police to stop armed groups called Maoists who have been causing trouble in some tribal areas.

The police from different states are working together to catch the leaders of these groups.

Some people say the operation is hurting innocent people, but the police say they are only targeting the armed fighters.

Recently, 89 Maoists have surrendered, including 63 in Dantewada and 26 in Sukma.

A high-ranking Maoist leader named Deva recently surrendered and gave important information about the group's weapons and plans.

The operation aims to make the areas safer so that schools, hospitals, and other important services can work properly again.

The police say they are following the law and trying to protect the civilians while doing this.

The surrenders are part of a rehabilitation program called Poona Morgham, which helps Maoists rejoin society.
