Debjit Mukherjee: The state government has declared the entire Manipur as a ‘threatened’ area under the controversial AFSPA Act. However, the area of 19 police stations, including the capital Imphal, will not come under the special powers of the army. According to news sources, this law will be effective for the next six months.
Chief minister N Biren Singh issued a notification in this regard on Wednesday where it is said, the armed forces will be used to stop the activities of various extremist and insurgent groups in the state. At present, security forces have been deployed to maintain law and order in the state.
