“We want the those who have deviated from their social path to join mainstream without any hesitation. There is nothing to stop accepting the deviated youth back in the social mainstream.
The government will extend all help and co-operation for establishing such people for becoming a successful citizen,” said the 59-year-old director general while talking over the surrender policy of the government.
Talking to the media persons near the Kalchiti picket, Prasad said the persons whom the society has termed `naxal’ may return to the social mainstream by surrendering themselves before the administration.
“Anyone willing to surrender may take the help of any politician, any journalist or even a police officer. The government will provide all co-operation in establishing such people in the society,” said the visiting CRPF officer.
After talking to the media persons, Prasad had visited the picket and subsequently talked to the CRPF officers posted under the Battalion No 193.
�It is really very important work in more coordinated manner and most importantly one must learn from the past mistakes of not being casual to the established security norms while combating extremist forces,� asserted the DG.
Sources revealed that during the meeting discussions were held on a number of issues, all pertaining to anti-naxal operations. He was learnt to have given directives to his subordinates as to how to go about for operations in Singhbhum and South Chhotanagpur region, where rebels make use of landmines the most.
