The Assam government has extended the “disturbed area” status of four districts under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 (AFSPA) for six months.
Four districts – Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, Charaideo and Sivasagar – have been identified as areas requiring special attention due to the continued presence of armed groups.
The Assam Police has submitted a proposal to the Home Ministry seeking extension of the “troubled area” status of four districts. Assam police said the law and order situation in the state has generally improved. However, a militant group remains active in these areas.
After due consideration, the Ministry of Home Affairs approved the extension of AFSPA to four regions with effect from April 1.
