Malkangiri, Jan 24: A woman cadre of the outlawed CPI (Maoist) gave up arms and surrendered before Odisha Police on Sunday. Lachi Khara surrendered before Malkangiri Superintendent of Police.

Lachi was an area committee member of military platoon under the Malkangiri-Koraput-Visakha Border (MKVB) division of Andhra-Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee.

She got disappointed with the discriminatory behaviour of Maoist leaders towards women cadres. Besides, the woman Maoist got disillusioned with the party leaders after realising that they were doing nothing for the development of the downtrodden people in the society.
