In one of the biggest turnarounds in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, as many as 210 Maoist guerrillas have laid down their arms in the past three days, marking a significant moment in the decades-long conflict between insurgents and the state. The government is hailing this as a major success, claiming that most parts of Bastar are now free from Maoist violence.

Our reporter Ankur Tiwari was deep inside the jungles of Bastar, witnessing the powerful and emotional moments when the guerrillas—many of whom had spent years in the forests—stepped forward to surrender their weapons and return to mainstream life. From tense silence to tears of relief, from rifles stacked on the ground to hopes of a new beginning, this is a story of change unfolding in one of India’s most conflict-ridden regions.

Watch this exclusive ground report from the heart of Bastar — where the echoes of guns are being replaced by the voices of peace.
