Centre Extends AFSPA in Manipur
In Manipur, AFSPA will remain in force across all districts except for areas under the jurisdiction of 13 police stations located in five districts—Imphal West, Imphal East, Thoubal, Bishnupur, and Kakching. The state has been facing ongoing ethnic violence since May 2023, prompting the continuation of the law in most areas.

The extension aims to strengthen security measures in these states, where insurgency-related activities continue to pose challenges. The move is part of the Centre’s strategy to maintain law and order in the Northeast region.
