The Maoist couple was identified as Jeevan alias Ram Tulavi at the rank of divisional committee member, and his wife Agasa alias Aarti, an area committee member have surrendered to the police in Mohla, police said. Their surrender marks another success in the state's 'Operation Prayas', a campaign designed to encourage Maoists to leave the armed insurgent movement and return to mainstream society, officials said. This surrender took place in the presence of Inspector General of Police (IG) Abhishek Shandilya and Superintendent of Police Yashpal Singh. The couple had been active members of the Maoist movement for over 25 years and decided to leave the organization after being influenced by the Chhattisgarh govt's new rehabilitation policy, officials added. Jeevan, 45, hails from Parvideeh village in Mohla and was a prominent member of the Naxal outfit, having held the position of Mobile Academic School (MAS) Commander in Marh division. Jeevan joined the outfit around 1993, influenced by the growing Naxal presence in his village. He began his journey in the movement by working under the leadership of Divakar Kurchami, a commander from the Tipagadh Naxal group. Over the years, Jeevan played an instrumental role in spreading Maoist ideology by teaching at Naxal-run schools, including in the Marh area, where he was tasked with training new recruits. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His work included conducting Mobile Political Schools (MOPOS) to educate Naxals in various villages, adapting to changing circumstances and locations. Jeevan steadily rose through the ranks, from an L.O.S. (Local Organization Squad) member to a Divisional Committee Member (DVCM). He carried a cash reward of Rs 8 lakh. His wife Aarti, 38, is from Teli Tola village in Mohla, and was active in the movement for over 15 years. She was involved in Chetna Natya Mandali, a cultural wing of the Naxals, where she helped spread the ideology through folk performances. She was introduced to the Naxal cause through her association with Laxman Deshmukh, the leader of a local cultural group who had links with the Naxals. After her marriage to Jeevan in 2007, Aarti continued her work with the Chetna Natya Mandali in Manpur division, where she was eventually promoted to the position of ACM. Over the years, she also worked with the Naxal media and press teams. She carried a bounty of Rs 5 lakh on her head. The couple's decision to surrender comes after years of being disillusioned by the growing discrimination and exploitation within the organization. With several senior leaders being killed in encounters and a growing atmosphere of fear among members, the couple chose to leave the armed insurgency and return to their communities, officials said. Their surrender was facilitated by the joint efforts of various security forces, including the 27th and 44th battalions of the ITBP (Indo-Tibetan Border Police) and District Reserve Guard (DRG). These forces played a vital role in bringing the couple to safety and ensuring that they were able to leave the Naxal organization without facing harm or retaliation. Both Jeevan and Aarti will receive immediate relief funds of Rs 50,000 each. The surrendered couple made an appeal to other active Maoists in the region, urging them to return to their families and live a peaceful, fulfilling life without the violence and fear associated with the movement.

Selfie near KRS crest gate lands 2 youths in police net
Mandya: After a two-minute selfie featuring three youths near the crest gate of the closely guarded Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) reservoir went viral, police detained two of them on Saturday and launched a search for the absconding person. The video was shot three weeks earlier. All three have been booked on charges of illegal and wrongful entry under BNS for unauthorised entry into the heavily secured KRS Dam premises. Jeevan, 20, and Gangadhar, 32, both residents of Chikkadi village in Pandavapura taluk, along with their friend, shot a video standing close to the crest gate. The video clearly captures the individuals stating that security personnel attempted to stop them, but they managed to sneak into the restricted zone nonetheless, where civil work is being carried out. They could access entry because the security grills were opened to facilitate construction at the dam site. While the incident initially appears to be a security lapse, sources reveal that the underlying issue is a critical shortage of manpower. The shortage of security personnel against the sanctioned strength has posed tough challenges to safeguard the sprawling 300-acre area comprising KRS Dam and Brindavan Gardens. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo On average, over a dozen security staff are on duty per shift, including office personnel, making comprehensive surveillance nearly impossible. Repeated requests for additional manpower and essential equipment — such as walkie-talkies and baggage scanners — have fallen on the deaf ears of the authorities concerned. The security at KRS and Brindavan Garden is handled by the Karnataka State Industrial Security Force. They trespassed restricted area: SP Of the CCTV cameras installed across the KRS premises, only a few are currently operational. The remaining units have been out of service for months, further crippling the already inadequate surveillance system. This negligence falls squarely on CNNL, which is responsible for the dam's maintenance and development activities. Speaking to TOI, superintendent of police Mallikarjun Baladandi said: "It is restricted area, the trio have trespassed and hence we have arrested two of them in this regard. With regarding CCTV and various other security related aspects, I had written two letters to Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited but they have not taken any action. Again we will write a letter about various requirements". With daily footfall ranging from 5,000 to 10,000—and reaching up to 50,000 during Dasara — the current security setup is grossly inadequate. CNNL should prioritise recruitment, provide necessary equipment, restore surveillance systems, and ensure basic amenities are in place. Sources claim that due to a lack of vehicles, night patrolling has become challenging for the security personnel guarding the reservoir.

MDMK councillor flags misuse of GST in road cut charges; seeks action against contractors
CHENNAI: During the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) council meeting on Wednesday, MDMK councillor S Jeevan voiced concerns over the 18% GST collected from the public for road cuts made during new service connections, alleging that the tax component was being usurped by private contractors instead of being deposited with the Chennai Metro Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB). He stated that the public are charged Rs 7,500 for new drainage connections with an additional Rs 5,200 per metre for road cuts and 18% GST. Previously, CMWSSB handled road cuts directly after obtaining GCC's permission and compensated the corporation for road repairs. Since January, private contractors have been hired for these works and are paid the full amount, including GST. Jeevan alleged that the contractors failed to properly restore roads after pocketing the money. He claimed that the actual CMWSSB road cutting costs range between Rs 1,100-Rs 1,700 per metre up to 10m, much lower than what is being charged, he said. He added that photographs of roads not being repaired properly were submitted to Mayor R Priya and urged the corporation to hold talks with CMWSSB to stop engaging contractors. Mayor Priya assured that the matter would be discussed with relevant departments.
