BHUBANESWAR: (Nov 28) To eradicate left-wing extremism in the state, the Odisha government has launched a revised Maoist surrender and rehabilitation policy by enhancing financial assistance, rewards for surrendered firearms and others.
Odisha’s Home Department, in a notification, said, “The objective of the surrender and rehabilitation policy is to contain and eradicate left wing extremism in the state by weaning away the hardcore LWE cadres. The policy also aims at ensuring that Naxalites, who surrender, do not revert to extremism by providing them with gainful employment and entrepreneurial opportunities.”
According to a notification issued on Thursday, the surrendered cadres will be classified into two categories, category A and B. High-ranking cadres such as central committee secretaries, central military commission chiefs, politburo members, central committee members, state committee members or equivalent rank, special zonal committee members, and regional committee members come under category A.
