Maoists have sent feelers on surrender: West Bengal DGP

The Hindu  

The police have received indications that many rebels in the Left-wing extremism affected areas in West Bengal are willing to surrender and return to the mainstream of life. The State government announced on Thursday that as a special gesture, the cases of persons now in police custody would be reviewed so that those facing minor charges might be released on bail. The government said persons released on bail would be kept under watch and if they maintained good behaviour, they would be “appropriately helped in the matter of rehabilitation.” The scheme entails giving rice at Rs. Five rural piped water supply schemes would be commissioned in each of the LWE blocks and mini-deep tubewells sunk at suitable locations to boost agriculture in these areas, many of which are arid.
