In a landmark development for India's fight against left-wing extremism, top Maoist leader Ramdher Majji and 11 cadres surrendered to authorities, effectively dismantling the last remaining insurgent network in the Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh (MMC) zone. This surrender, combined with the previous day's surrender of 10 high-ranking Maoists, marks the end of decades-long insurgency in the region, with officials declaring Madhya Pradesh now "almost completely Naxal-free."
