1. Operating without legal cover provided by the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) is a major limitation for security forces operating in Manipur in the current situation, Army sources say.
2. In March this year, the Central government had removed AFSPA from one district of Assam, and within the limits of four police stations (Wangoi, Leimakhong, Nambol and Moirang) in Manipur.
This took the number of police-station limits without AFSPA to 19 spanning seven districts of Manipur.
Home Minister Amit Shah had said on March 25 that the Centre had decided to “reduce the Disturbed Areas” under the AFSPA in Nagaland, Assam and Manipur due to the “significant improvement in the security situation in Northeast India.”

4. ARMED FORCES DRAW PROPOSAL TO ABSORB 50% MORE AGNIVEERS: The ambitious Agnipath scheme might see some changes as the armed forces are mulling ways to obviate problems that may arise in the future.
These problems, among many, include the decline in the numbers of personnel at the soldier’s levels due to the restricted number of recruitments planned up till 2026.
(a) 2022 and 2026, around 1.75 lakh Agniveers are expected to be recruited. The aim of the proposals is “to make up for the decline in a planned manner. Otherwise, it might turn into bigger problems, functional and operational,” sources said.
(b) The intake of Agniveers will go up to 1.25 lakh in the near future and will not remain at 46,000, which is the present figure.
(C) The cap in the maximum recruitment age to 21 years is leaving a smaller pool of eligible candidates. Thus, the proposal is to raise this to 23 years so that we can get the youth passing out of polytechnic.
