State government’s surrender policy
The chhattisgarh state government’s surender policy for naxals seems to attract many rebels to return to mainstream. However, one of the main reason for this naxal couple for the surrender is their falling in love with each other. The lady rebel said she wanted to return to mainstream and start a family.
The government’s surender policy offers ₹ 3 lakhs cash each, 4 dismil plot to build a house of their own, ₹ 40,000 to train for a mainstream career, life insurance worth ₹ 5 lakhs, free education for their children and the reward money as well. The naxal couple will have their perks of the surrender. The government will give full support to the rebels to lead a normal life.
The naxal couple received ₹ 1 lakh each immediately after the surrender. And will recieve the other 2 lakhs in next 2 years, as said by the SP.
