Centre extends Afspa in Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh till March 2027
In response to ongoing unrest, the Indian home ministry has extended the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act in select 'disturbed areas' of Manipur and Nagaland for another six months, until March 31, 2027. This decision, spurred by violent clashes between Kukis and Nagas, also sees similar mandates upheld in specific Arunachal Pradesh districts, as the government seeks to maintain order amidst rising tensions.
