The Assam government extends AFSPA in four districts for six months, allowing security forces to operate without warrants. The law was withdrawn from some areas but remains in specific districts since its initial declaration in 1990.

The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA), which grants sweeping powers to security forces in "disturbed" areas, has been extended for six months in three districts of Arunachal Pradesh and eight districts of Nagaland, along with other areas. The AFSPA allows armed forces personnel to search, arrest, and open fire if deemed necessary for public order. The extension follows a review of the law and order situation in these northeastern states. Despite its removal from 70% of areas in the northeast, the AFSPA remains in force in Jammu and Kashmir.
