Senior Maoist leaders surrender
Earlier, Telangana Police marked a significant development in the state's ongoing efforts to curb left-wing extremism as Senior CPI (Maoist) leader Pasunoori Narahari and his wife Medara Danamma surrendered before Telangana Director General of Police C V Anand in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
According to officials, the couple laid down arms and joined the mainstream during a formal surrender event held at the police headquarters.
Speaking on the occasion, Anand said that both cadres had come out voluntarily and surrendered to the Telangana Police. "Both have come out today and surrendered to the Telangana police. If we calculate the number of persons who are underground in Telangana, there are hardly three members left...We appeal to all of them to come out because the days are over. The society has changed. The ideology of Maoism has no place in the modern-day society of India. On behalf of the Telangana police and Telangana government, we appeal to all the remaining cadres to come out," Anand told reporters.
