Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A woman Left Wing Extremist (LWE) has surrendered before Balaghat police, marking the first Naxalite surrender in Madhya Pradesh since 1992, officials said on Sunday.

On October 30, Free Press had reported that despite Madhya Pradesh having one of the most liberal and attractive Naxal surrender policies in the country, not a single Naxalite had laid down arms in recent years.

Special DG (Anti-Naxal Operations) Pawan Shrivastava said the surrender of a woman Naxalite in Balaghat is a major development for the district, which has struggled with Naxal activity for over four decades. The surrender took place on November 1 at the Hawk Force camp in Chauriya. Read Also Bhopal Power Cut November 3: Power To Remain Disrupted In Brij Colony, Indra Colony, Aish Bagh &.
