Bastar Creates Safe Zone for Surrendering Maoists
In the jungles of Bastar, Chhattisgarh, a special safe area called a 'Green Zone' has been made for Maoists who want to give up their weapons and surrender.
This comes after many important Maoist leaders were killed in recent fights, which has made other Maoists worried and confused about their future.
More and more Maoists are now choosing to surrender because they feel they can't fight anymore.
Over 80 Maoists, including some important ones, have surrendered in the last ten days.
In another part of the Maoist group, called the MMC Zone, some members are also thinking about giving up their weapons and surrendering, but it's not clear if all of them will do so.
A 'Green Zone' has been created in Bastar jungles for Maoists to surrender safely.
Recent neutralization of key Maoist leaders has led to increased surrenders.
Over 80 Maoists, including senior cadres, have surrendered in the past ten days.
The MMC Zone of Maoists is reportedly splitting, with some factions willing to surrender.
Maoist spokesman Anant, with a Rs 25 lakh bounty, surrendered along with ten others in Maharashtra.
