Telangana Maoists Surrender Before DGP as 30 Cadres Lay Down Arms

• Telangana Maoists surrender before DGP with over 30 cadres laying down arms
• Maoists surrender includes PLGA members and key commander Sodhi Keshav
• Telangana Maoists surrender sees handover of weapons and police breakthrough

In a significant development, more than 30 Maoists are set to surrender before Telangana Director General of Police Jitender Shivadhar Reddy, marking a major breakthrough in ongoing anti insurgency efforts in the region.

Officials confirmed that the surrender event will take place in the afternoon, with the DGP expected to formally announce the details during a press briefing. The move is being seen as a crucial step towards weakening Maoist activity in the state.

Among those surrendering are key members of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army, including a battalion level deputy commander identified as Sodhi Keshav. Authorities consider his surrender particularly important due to his position within the organization.

Sources indicate that the group has already handed over around 40 weapons to the police, signaling a complete shift away from armed struggle. Security officials believe this will significantly impact Maoist operations in nearby regions.

The surrender comes in the backdrop of intensified combing operations by central forces in neighboring Chhattisgarh, which reportedly pushed the cadres to seek refuge and eventually approach Telangana police authorities.

Police officials view this development as a positive outcome of sustained pressure and rehabilitation efforts aimed at encouraging Maoists to return to mainstream life. Further details regarding the surrender and rehabilitation measures are expected to be shared during the official announcement.
