Bastar: In a major victory in the ongoing battle against Maoists in Chhattisgarh, around 200 Maoists from the Dandakaranya region, including senior leaders, are set to surrender their arms and return to the mainstream. The surrender event is scheduled to take place on October 17 in the presence of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai in Bastar.

According to IG Bastar P Sundarraj, the surrender is an example of the effectiveness of the government's policies and the efforts of the security forces in weakening the Maoist movement.
