'Disturbed Area' status has been extended in Manipur, excluding seven assembly segments of Imphal Municipal Area till December 1, 2022.

The entire Northeast states, particularly Manipur had been facing human rights violations by the security forces after AFSPA was imposed under the pretext of counter insurgency, the former Lok Sabha MP and human rights activist said.
There is no question of being unable to remove AFSPA from Manipur by the state government as there are proper channels and steps for the repealing of AFSPA from the state, Mani said.
IFP Editorial: If the Indian army lying in wait for Naga insurgents to ambush cannot differentiate innocent and ordinary coal miners from insurgents, something is seriously wrong with the army establishment.
The 'Disturbed Area' status has been extended in the entire state for another six months from August 28 under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA).
