Following a proposal from the Assam government, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) has chosen to maintain the current "status quo" regarding the classification of these areas as "disturbed" for another six months.
The MHA issued a notification to declare the areas as disturbed areas. The three districts where the AFSPA has been extended for the next three months are Tirap, Changlang, and Longding.
The families of the three boys killed in the fake encounter have, on Tuesday, dubbed the granting of bail to the captain as a “grave injustice”. They vowed not to remain silent but to move a higher court.
Are we in the habit of first taking a wait-and-watch approach, or just play a routine role, and then look for ways to blame others when things spill out of control? Is it a kind of play-safe approach we follow without coming to action mode and facilitating quick solutions? Had there been genuine intent followed by real action, things may have gone a different way

The Home Minister hailed the PM for bringing a positive change in the lives of the people of the Northeast and connecting the region with the hearts of the rest of India.
