A group of villagers, earlier associated with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), surrendered seven firearms to Police in Narayanpur District of Chhattisgarh on October 15, reports Devdiscourse News. The villagers, hailing from Ehnar in the Abujhmaad region of Narayanpur District, were once active as `Jan Militia' (lower-rung) members or supporters of the CPI-Maoist, but have now no link with the outfit spearheading the armed Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] movement, Superintendent of Police (SP), Jitendra Shukla said. The villagers voluntarily surrendered seven muzzle loading guns at the newly set up Sonpur Police camp in the District, about 350 kilometers from State capital Raipur, SP, Shukla said. Of the villagers, three were active as `Jan Militia' cadres in the past, while others were supporters of Maoists, he added.
