Maoists Cadre Shifted To New Place, Says DGP
The surrendered Maoists also informed the police that sustained pressure from security forces and non-cooperation and dilution of their logistic networks resulted in restricted mobility and operational setbacks: Reports
HYDERABAD: Director General of Police (DGP) B Shivadhar Reddy on Friday said Maoists were surrendering after their leadership had directed them to shift base to new places to escape from the security forces in Dandakaranya, Andhra Odisha Border (AOB) and Chhattisgarh.
The Maoist leadership has been arbitrarily deploying cadres to unfamiliar and distant areas without their consent, often to regions where they lack basic geographical knowledge and local support. This has resulted in serious mobility constraints and acute logistical difficulties, including shortages of essential day-to-day necessities, the DGP said.
Such conditions have caused growing frustration and hardship among the cadres, compelling many to disengage from the Maoist organisation and choose to return to the mainstream of society," the DGP said.
The surrendered Maoists also informed the police that sustained pressure from security forces and non-cooperation and dilution of their logistic networks resulted in restricted mobility and operational setbacks.
Ideological divergence and disillusionment, arising from the growing gap between leadership and ground realities. Internal rifts, factionalism, and leadership disputes within various formations of Maoists.
The DGP further said harsh living conditions, deteriorating health, and prolonged separation from families coupled with weakening of relevance towards ideology. In 2025 alone, a total of 509 underground Maoist cadres — including two central committee members (CCMs), 11 state committee members (SCMs), three divisional committee secretaries (DVCS), 17 DVCMs/CyPCMs, and 57 ACMs/PPCMs — have surrendered before the Telangana police, underscoring the steady decline of the organisation.
