Making Chhattisgarh a State of Peace, Trust, and a Bright Future is the State Government’s Unwavering Resolve – Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai

Raipur: Another significant success has been achieved in the direction of peace, trust, and development in the Bastar region. In Bijapur district, 34 Maoist cadres, carrying a reward of ₹84 lakh, have renounced the path of violence, expressed faith in the Indian Constitution, and decided to return to the mainstream of society.

Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said that this achievement is the result of the continuous and concrete efforts being made to make Chhattisgarh Naxal-free, in line with the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the strong will of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Chief Minister Sai said that the state government’s “Puna Margam” policy has proven that dialogue, sensitivity, and development are far more effective solutions than violence. This surrender is not merely an act of laying down arms, but a decision to return to a life of dignity, free from fear and confusion.

Chief Minister Sai said that the state government is fully committed to the rehabilitation, security, livelihood, skill development, and social reintegration of all those who have surrendered, so that they can become self-reliant in the society.

The Chief Minister appealed to the misguided youth once again here on Tuesday December 16, 2025 , urging them to abandon the path of violence, walk hand-in-hand with democracy and development, and become partners in building the state and the nation.

Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said that making Chhattisgarh a state of peace, trust, and a bright future is the unwavering resolve of the state government, and coordinated efforts will continue at all levels to achieve this goal.
