Raipur: In another success for Chhattisgarh's "anti-Naxal" campaign, Kamala Sodi, a notorious female Maoist carrying a bounty of Rs 17 lakh, surrendered to the police on Thursday, marking a powerful moment in the state's ongoing effort to dismantle insurgent networks through dialogue and rehabilitation.

Sodi, also known by her aliases Ungi and Taruna, laid down arms at the Superintendent of Police's office in Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai district, in the presence of Rajnandgaon Range Inspector General Abhishek Shandilya, SP Lakshya Sharma, and other senior officials.

Her surrender is being hailed as a testament to the growing impact of Chhattisgarh's Surrender and Rehabilitation Policy-2025, which aims to reintegrate former rebels into society through trust-building and development.
