Eleven Maoists, including three carrying cash rewards on their heads surrendered before the police in the insurgency-hit Kondagaon district, police said on Monday.
In a separate action, six ultras came in police net during an anti-insurgency drive carried out by security forces under Gadiras Police Station of Sukma district.
Police said the surrendering ultras were deeply dissatisfied with the Naxal ideology and discrimination meted out by the senior Naxal cadres hailing from Andhra Pradesh.
Of the surrendering ultras one carried reward of Rs 5,000 on his head while two others carried reward of Rs 2,000 each on their arrests, Superintendent of Police (SP) Kondagaon JS Watti said adding, two out of the eleven surrendering Naxals were female.
The attractive rehabilitation and surrender policy adopted by the State Government also acted as catalyzing element for convincing the ultras to shun the path of violence, he added.
They were members of Naxal Janmilita and were residents of Bayanar, Rajbeda and Choote Usari villages, the SP said.
Meanwhile, security forces in Sukma district succeeded in arresting six insurgents out of which one carried reward of Rs 5,000 on his head.
