💨 Abstract

The Manipur state government has requested the Central government to review and withdraw the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) from six police station areas in the state, citing public interest. The Centre had recently reimposed AFSPA in these areas, including Jiribam, a region known for violence. The decision was made following a state cabinet meeting on November 15.
