33 Surrendered Naxals Forced Into Vasectomies By Maoists Undergo Successful Reversal Surgeries In Bastar
A health camp was held in the hospital to admit the surrendered Naxals, who had undergone vasectomy during their Maoist days, for their recanalization surgery.
Raipur: Vasectomy reversal surgeries were performed successfully on 33 surrendered Naxals, who were forced to undergo vasectomy during their Maoist days, in the Maharani Hospital in Jagdalpur, headquarters of Bastar in Chhattisgarh, over a couple of days under the rehabilitation scheme for the ex-ultras.
A health camp was held in the hospital to admit the surrendered Naxals, who had undergone vasectomy during their Maoist days, for their recanalization surgery.
The police and the local administration organized the special charitable camp which was attended by the specialist teams of the Urological Society Western Zone and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Raipur, an official spokesman said on Wednesday.
“In the first phase, vasectomy reversal surgeries were successfully performed on 33 surrendered Naxals”, Dr. Sanjay Prasad, civil surgeon, Maharani Hospital, said.
According to him, more than 60 surrendered Naxals from different parts of Bastar have been identified to undergo recanalization surgery to start a normal family life and the process for their vasectomy reversal is in progress.
Maoist leadership had made it mandatory for the Naxal youths to undergo vasectomy in the Naxal camps if they desired to marry the female cadres they fell in love with.
According to Shankar Muchika, a former divisional committee member of banned CPI (Maoist) carrying a bounty of Rs eight lakh, tribal youths hardly having primary education were trained by doctors brought to the jungle by the Maoists to perform different kinds of surgeries including vasectomy in the Maoist camps.
They were part of the Naxals’ medical teams.
Muchika was among the 33 surrendered Naxals who had undergone vasectomy reversal surgery in the camp.
The inhuman practice by the Naxals came to the fore in 2014 when some surrendered Naxals narrated their plight after undergoing vasectomy in the Maoist camps before the police in Kanker in Bastar.
