Due to the intensified anti-Maoist operations conducted by Gadchiroli Police and the golden opportunity provided by the Government of Maharashtra for Maoists to surrender and lead a respectful life, 22 hardcore Maoists have surrendered before the Gadchiroli Police from the year 2022 till date.

The surrendered maoist has been identified as 45-year-old Lachhu Kariya Tado, Party Member, Bhamragad Local Organisational Squad (LOS), a resident of Bhamragad, Gadchiroli.

Tado has told the police that as fellow members were arrested by police, family members and relatives persuaded him to surrender. As per Tado, senior maoists direct to collect money for the development, but they actually use that money for themselves. It is never used for people’s development.

"Married Party members could not live an independent married life. Senior Maoists use the poor tribal youths for their own benefit. Senior cadres force to kill innocent tribal’s only on suspicion of being police informer. The so called revolution has lost public support and base in Gadchiroli," he told the police.
