Nagaland has been declared a ‘disturbed area’ for six more months under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act with effect from December 30 by the Union Home Ministry. In a gazette notification issued by the home ministry, the state of Nagaland has been termed as ‘disturbed and dangerous condition.’
Nagaland has been under AFSPA rule for nearly 60 years now even after the framework agreement was signed between the Central Government and the Naga insurgents.
