37 Maoists, including leaders and women, surrendered in Telangana, a major blow to the insurgency.

On November 22, 2025, 37 Maoists, including three senior leaders and 25 women, surrendered to Telangana police in Hyderabad, marking a major setback for the insurgency. The surrendered cadres, eligible for rewards ranging from ₹1 lakh to ₹20 lakh, will receive rehabilitation support. The move follows recent clashes in Andhra Pradesh that killed around 12 Maoists, including top commander Madvi Hidma. The state and central governments are intensifying counterinsurgency efforts, aiming to end the Maoist movement by March 2026.
