Recently which state recommended that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), 1958 should be repealed from the state.

The correct answer is Nagaland. Key Points Recently Nagaland recommended that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), 1958 should be repealed from the state. The Nagaland administration in 2021 decided to write to the Central government to repeal the Armed Forces Special Protection Act, 1958, amid indignation over the killing of 14 civilians in a botched Army operation. Nagaland claimed that the law's execution has given the country a terrible name around the world. Important Points The AFSPA has been in effect in Nagaland for several decades and is applicable throughout the state. Even after a framework agreement was signed on August 3, 2015 , in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, by Naga rebel organisation NSCN-IM general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah and the government's intermediary R N Ravi. After a review, the AFSPA in Nagaland was extended for another year in June 2015. The central government extended AFSPA for another six months in June 2017 due to rising insurgency, killings, looting, and extortion in several regions of Nagaland, resulting in the expansion of the "disturbed area" in the province. Additional Information In 1958, Assam became the first state to be covered by the AFSPA. Since November 1990, the entire state of Assam has been under the Act; this was necessary because of the development of ULFA's activities in the region, which peaked in the 1990s. Manipur was first declared as a "disturbed area" in 1980 in order to confront four insurgent groups operating in the state at the time. In July 2016, the Supreme Court questioned the constitutionality of the AFSPA, which has been in effect in Manipur since 1958.
