The surrender of the Naxalites was also influenced by the oppression they faced at the hands of their leaders and the attractive terms of the Chhattisgarh’s government’s rehabilitation policy, Dash said.
The Bastar Collector has given Rs 10,000 to each of the surrendered guerrillas as immediate aid.
