India Extends Ban on NSCN-K for Five Years
The Indian government has decided to extend the ban on the NSCN-K group for another five years.
This group wants to create a separate Nagaland and has been involved in activities like kidnapping and extortion.
The government believes that if this group continues its activities, it could become stronger and cause more trouble.
The ban will last until September 28, 2030 unless changed earlier.
The government took this step because the group poses a threat to the country’s safety.
The Indian government extended the ban on NSCN (K) and its factions.
The ban extension is effective from September 28, 2025, for five years.
NSCN-K aims to establish a sovereign Nagaland by secession.
The group has been involved in kidnapping, extortion, and acquiring arms.
The ban is enacted under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (UAPA).
