AFSPA extended for six months in disturbed areas of Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh

The Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) has been extended for a further six months in designated disturbed areas across Manipur, Nagaland, and Arunachal Pradesh. The extension applies to zones classified as disturbed under the act's provisions.

AFSPA grants armed forces special powers to conduct operations in designated areas without requiring prior permission from civil authorities for certain actions. The periodic renewal of the act reflects the security situation in these northeastern regions.
