No move to scrap AFSPA from NE
Assam Tribune | R Dutta Choudhury | Guwahati, Jan 31
The Central Government is keen on reducing the strength of the Army in counter-insurgency duties. However, there is no move to scrap the controversial Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act despite demands by various organisations of the Northeast for the scrapping of the same.
Highly placed official sources in Delhi told The Assam Tribune that with gradual improvement of the overall law-and-order situation in the northeastern region, the Centre is planning to reduce the presence of the Army in counter-insurgency duties. However, total withdrawal of the Army from the counter-insurgency operations will take some time as there have been sporadic incidents of violence in parts of the region and militancy is yet to be completely wiped out.
