AFSPA Reimposed in Manipur’s 6 Police Stations: Insurgency Intensifies & Violence Surges in Villages

The Indian government has reimposed the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in six police station areas of Manipur, as the state's security situation deteriorates. Citing a "volatile" environment and increasing insurgent activity, the Ministry of Home Affairs has extended AFSPA to regions severely affected by ethnic violence. Despite the deployment of additional paramilitary forces, violence continues to spiral, with clashes between militants and security forces claiming hundreds of lives over the past 18 months. In this video, we explore the implications of this decision, the ongoing unrest, and whether AFSPA can restore peace or fuel further conflict in the region. #Manipur #AFSPA #Insurgency #IndianArmy #EthnicViolence #SecurityForces #MilitaryAction #ManipurViolence #AFSPAManipur #HomeMinistry #DisturbedAreas #IndiaUnrest #ManipurCrisis #ViolenceInManipur #InsurgentGroups #RestoringOrder ~PR.274~ED.103~HT.336~GR.125~
