Dantewada, April 29

At least 23 Naxalites, including seven women, surrendered before the security forces in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada on Monday. They were part of the Bhairamgarh area committee of the Maoists in south Bastar, Dantewada Superintendent of Police Gaurav Rai said.

They were impressed by the police’s rehabilitation drive ‘Lon Varratu’ and disappointed with the hollow Maoist ideology, he said. Of the surrendered cadres, Sonu Madvi (40) was the vice-president of Dandakaranya Adivasi Kisan Mazdoor Sangthan under the Hurrepal panchayat, Paro Madvi (38) was the vice-president of the Krantikari Mahila Adivasi Sangthan and Parvati Barsa (33) headed its finance team. Since 2020, 761 Naxalites have shunned violence.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
