Hyderabad, March 30 (NationPress) The Director General of Police for Telangana, B. Shivadhar Reddy, issued a heartfelt appeal on Monday to the underground leaders and members of the CPI (Maoist) party, urging them to abandon their weapons and reintegrate into the national fabric.

The police chief emphasized the need for these individuals to reject violence, disarm, and embrace a democratic existence, which would allow them to live safely and with dignity.

Recalling a previous plea from Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, the DGP encouraged these individuals to emerge from hiding, reconnect with their families, and adopt a peaceful lifestyle within society.

According to the DGP, due to the relentless efforts of the Telangana Police over the last two years, a total of 721 Maoists of varying ranks from both Telangana and Chhattisgarh have surrendered and rejoined society. This group includes four members from the Central Committee, 19 from the State Committee, and 36 from the Divisional Committee (DVCMs).

The DGP further mentioned that all individuals who have surrendered have been granted financial support and additional benefits through the State Government's extensive rehabilitation policy, allowing them to lead honorable lives in their hometowns.

DGP Shivadhar Reddy made a special call to Telangana natives currently involved with Maoist factions in other states—Muppalla Lakshmana Rao alias Ganapathi (72), Pusunuri Narahari alias Santosh (57), Vartha Shekhar alias Mangthu (51), Jode Ratnabai alias Sujatha (68), Nakka Susheela alias Rela (51), and Rangaboyina Bhagya alias Rupi (43)—encouraging them to return and take advantage of the rehabilitation initiatives.

The DGP assured that the State Government would provide Ganapathi, a Central Committee member who is reportedly experiencing health complications, with advanced medical care in Hyderabad. He also recalled the Chief Minister's direct appeal to Ganapathi during a press conference on March 7, which coincided with the surrender of 130 Maoists.

Highlighting a growing confidence in the State's rehabilitation framework, the DGP pointed out that individuals from other states are increasingly willing to surrender. He urged family members and friends of those who remain underground to encourage them towards a more peaceful path.

Reiterating that sustainable solutions can only be achieved through democratic avenues, the DGP called on Maoist operatives to renounce violence and participate in the development of society.
