The entire Nagaland has been declared as “disturbed area”
for six more months, till June- end, under the controversial AFSPA. The
decision to continue the declaration of Nagaland as “disturbed area” has been
taken as killings, loot and extortion have been going in various parts of the
state which necessitated the action for the convenience of the security forces
operating there.
The AFSPA has been in force in Nagaland for several
decades. It has not been withdrawn even after a framework agreement was signed
in August 2015 between the Naga insurgent group NSCN-IM and the government. The
framework agreement came after over 80 rounds of negotiations spanning 18 years
with the first breakthrough in 1997 when the ceasefire agreement was sealed
after decades of insurgency in Nagaland.
