💨 Abstract

Fourteen Naxalites, eight of whom had a collective reward of Rs 16 lakh, surrendered in Sukma, Chhattisgarh. The group, including five women, cited disillusionment with Maoist ideology and atrocities against tribals. They were impressed by the state's development and rehabilitation policies. Key figures included Kuhram Bheema and Telam Hidma, each with a Rs 2 lakh reward.
