Raipur, August 15, 2009: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Dr Raman Singh today said regional imbalances had given several problems to India and naxalite menace was one of them, which had become a grave challenge to the internal security of the country.
The Chief Minister today unfurled the Tri-Colour on the Independence Day and received salute of an impressive ceremonial parade at the Police Parade Ground here when his Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries were Chief Guests at the District level functions.
