New Delhi, Dec 30: The Union Home Ministry on Thursday, December 30, 2021, extended the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958 (AFSPA) in the Nagaland for another six months.

The announcement was made through a gazette notification issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs in response to calls from the Northeastern state to withdraw it following an alleged botched security operation near Oting Village in Nagaland’s Mon district on December 4 that killed 14 civilians and one jawan.

“whereas the Central Government is of the opinion that the area comprising the whole state of Nagaland is in such a disturbed and dangerous condition that use of armed forces in aid of civil power is necessary,” the notification said.
