Chhattisgarh Government has extended by one more year the ban on top Naxal outfit CPI- Maoist and half a dozen organisations affiliated with it.
"The ban on CPI-Maoist and its six front organisations has been extended for another year," a Home Department official said here today.
The dreaded outfit, along with its affiliates, was first outlawed in the state in April 2006 under Section 3 of the Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act, 2005. Since then the State Government has been extending the ban every year.
