Notably, Nagaland has been under AFSPA for nearly 60 years now. AFSPA was not withdrawn from Nagaland even after a framework agreement was signed by Naga insurgent group and government interlocutor RN Ravi in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015.
The other states in the North East that are under AFSPA by a central order are Assam, Manipur, and Arunachal Pradesh.
The AFSPA gives the Indian Army sweeping powers to search, arrest, and open fire to maintain public order in the state and has often been criticised by civil rights groups.
