Six Maoists Surrender in Telangana Under Operation Cheyutha

Six members of the banned CPI (Maoist) surrendered under Operation Cheyutha, a campaign aimed at rehabilitating tribal Maoists. Launched in January 2025, Operation Cheyutha has facilitated the surrender of 320 Maoists so far. Each individual receives ₹25,000 immediate aid, with additional rehabilitation funds based on rank. The operation reflects Telangana government’s strategy of combining security measures with welfare initiatives to address tribal grievances, reduce Maoist influence, and encourage militants to abandon violence for a peaceful life.
