In a landmark development for India's anti-Maoist operations, Sunil alias Jagtar Singh, the final active Maoist in Chhattisgarh's Gariaband district, has surrendered to authorities. This historic surrender, along with six other insurgents, officially renders the once-troubled district Maoist-free after decades of conflict. With a Rs 8 lakh bounty on his head and over 20 years of involvement in extremist activities, Sunil's capitulation represents the culmination of sustained counter-insurgency efforts and rehabilitation policies that have now dismantled the red corridor connecting Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
