Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) UPSC

The Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) was enacted by the Indian Parliament in 1958 to empower the armed forces with special powers in areas declared as “disturbed” due to insurgency or internal conflict. Originally applied to parts of Assam and Manipur, it now extends to several northeastern states, including Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura. The Act aims to assist civil authorities in maintaining public order, but has been a subject of significant debate due to concerns over human rights violations.
