Rewards on Maoist surrenders in Odisha 10% higher than Chhattisgarh: Police

Odisha has significantly boosted rewards for Maoist leaders, exceeding Chhattisgarh’s by 10% to encourage surrenders. A central committee member’s bounty now reaches Rs 1.20 crore. This revised policy aims to weaken Left-Wing Extremism by incentivizing cadres, particularly those from Chhattisgarh, to abandon violence and embrace rehabilitation, aligning with the national goal of a Naxal-free India.
