Koraput : Two women Maoists, involved in several offences, surrendered before police in Orissa`s Koraput district today as they were unhappy with the activities of the rebels.

The duo who gave up arms to rejoin the social mainstream had been identified as Jambo Nachika alias Reena (18) and Tarai Mandangi (16), both residents of Narayanpatna in the naxal-hit district, DIG (South-West) Soumendra Priyadarshi said.

While Reena was an armed cadre and had joined the Maoist organisation three years back, Tarai had joined the cultural wing of the Maoist outfit known as`Jana Natya Mandali`, three months back, the police said.

The two decided to surrender as they were unhappy with life in forests and activities of Maoists. Mounting pressure due to constant anti-Maoist operation in the forests also forced the ultras to surrender,Koraput superintendent of police Anup Kumar Sahoo said.

They will be rehabilitated as per the prevailing rehabilitation policy meant for the surrendered Maoists, he added.
