JAMMU, Mar 22: Chief Minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said that Government would examine the need for de-notifying ‘disturbed areas’ so as to enable phased withdrawal of Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) from such areas.
“Keeping in view the improving security scenario, the State Government will examine the need for de-notifying disturbed areas, which are free from militancy related incidents for quite some time”, Mufti said in response to a question of NC MLA, Ali Mohammad Sagar.
The AFSPA came into force in Jammu and Kashmir on July 5, 1990.
