Maharashtra home minister RR Patil today advised parents in big cities to keep a watch on their children to ensure they do not get drifted towards Naxalism.
"As Naxalism is percolating in many big cities, parents should keep a watch on their children," he said.
Left-wing extremism was a challenge before the government, he said, adding every section of the society should help the state administration in effectively tackling the menace.
Patil was speaking at a function, where he released the book, Challenges of Naxalism, written by Devendra Gavande.
