Maoist local operation squad area commander lakmidhar Nayak was given compensation sum of Rs50,000 and a plot at Janakinagar area for construction of a house as his surrender package.
At a special programme organised by the Nabarangpur district administration and police in the presence of Collector Mohammad Sadik Aalaam and SP Brajesh Ray, Nayak was paid the sum of money.
On the occasion, the district Collector appealed all the Maoists to join the mainstream and work in tandem with the Government. SP Ray said Nayak had surrendered on September 3, 2011. He had been paid a sum of Rs50,000 during surrender and during his marriage ceremony subsequently, he had been given a sum of Rs25,000. He was trained under a livelihood programme as well.
Nayak belongs to Aringabotare village under Palkekor Police limits of Chattisgarh.

They had assured him to pay him salary and also financial support to his family members. But later they did not fulfil the assurance.
Nayak had been involved in a series of events of murder and extortion. He was involved in the killing of a Forest Guard in Nuapada and Sunabeda area, Jhujumara forest office blast and Paplikand police station blast.
