Hailing the development, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said it was a historic day not only for Bastar but for Chhattisgarh and the entire nation.According to officials, Fridays mass surrender - the largest in the history of anti-Naxal operations in the state - marks a decisive turning point in the governments ongoing campaign to eliminate Left-Wing Extremism.All the cadres, who surrendered before the police and paramilitary officials in Jagdalpur, the headquarters of the Bastar district, were formally welcomed into the mainstream by tribal community leaders and priests who greeted them with red roses, symbolising love, peace and a new beginning.
