A pivotal audio message from Deputy CM Vijay Sharma targets Maoist leader Vikas, responding to his outreach for 15 members from Odisha-adjacent divisions. As West Sub-Zonal Bureau secretary, Vikas’s letter to Sharma signals a potential breakthrough in counter-insurgency efforts.
Sharma, acknowledging the missive from the previous day, invited the group for March 2-3. ‘Join the mainstream promptly, free of concerns,’ he said, emphasizing ‘rehabilitation’ for respect.
Core issues? Unsafe home returns due to threats and documentation voids. Solution: State’s skill programs offering driving, mobile servicing, literacy—pathways to independent living.
Centers are welcoming spaces, not confines—come and go freely, enjoy games, checkups, city trips. Three to four months prep for secure homecoming.
Legal relief via a sub-committee scanning cases for legal closures. Jail pathways include bail, center rehab with consent, timed release.
Past successes validate: Satish’s massive 210, Kanker’s 21, Majji’s safeguarded entry. ‘Police actions from either state? Noted and neutralized for your protection.’ Sharma’s words reinforce Chhattisgarh’s rehabilitative model, blending security with opportunity.
