New Delhi: The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA), granting extensive powers to armed forces in “disturbed areas,” has been extended for six months in several regions of Manipur, Nagaland, and Arunachal Pradesh, the Union Home Ministry announced on Sunday.

In Manipur, AFSPA will remain in effect across the state, excluding areas under the jurisdiction of 13 police stations in five districts, following a review of the law and order situation.

The exempted police stations include Imphal, Lamphal, City, Singjamei, Patsoi, Wangoi, Porompat, Heingang, Irilbung, Thoubal, Bishnupur, Nambol, and Kakching.

Nagaland will see AFSPA extended to eight districts and 21 police station areas in five additional districts for six months.

Similarly, the act has been renewed in Arunachal Pradesh for Tirap, Changlang, and Longding districts, as well as three police station areas in Namsai district, effective from April 1.

AFSPA allows armed forces to search, arrest, and use force, including opening fire, in areas designated as “disturbed.”

While supporters argue the law is essential for maintaining security, critics have labelled it draconian, citing alleged misuse and human rights violations.

The Home Ministry’s notification stated that the decision to extend AFSPA was based on a thorough review of security conditions in these regions.

n Manipur, the exemption of certain police station areas reflects an improvement in law and order in specific pockets, while other parts of the state continue to face challenges.

The act’s extension comes amidst ongoing debates about its necessity and impact, with calls for a more nuanced approach to address security concerns without infringing on civil liberties.
