🌟 **Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 (AFSPA)**: 🌟

The *Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 (AFSPA)* is a significant legislation enacted by the Parliament of India. It empowers the *armed forces* to maintain public order in **"disturbed areas"**. Here are key points about AFSPA:

1. **Purpose and Context**:
*Violence* had become pervasive in the northeastern states of India.
State administration struggled to control internal disturbances.
The *Armed Forces (Assam and Manipur) Special Powers Ordinance* was promulgated in 1958, granting special powers to armed forces members in these regions¹.

2. **Special Powers**:
In a **disturbed area**, commissioned officers, warrant officers, non-commissioned officers, and others of equivalent rank can:
**Use force**, including firing (even resulting in death), against those violating laws or orders.
Act against gatherings of *five or more persons* carrying weapons or objects that could be used as weapons⁷.

3. **Extent**:
AFSPA applies to several states, including **Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura**².

4. **Controversy and Impact**:
AFSPA has faced criticism for its **unfettered powers**, including arrest, search without warrants, and immunity from prosecution.
It was initially introduced to address the Naga uprising and has remained a topic of debate and concern⁴.
