Government rules made easy. Just ask.

DETAILS: - AFSPA grants special powers to the armed forces in areas declared as disturbed. - Fluctuating enforcement can lead to inconsistencies in human rights protections. - It raises questions about the balance of power between state and individual rights. PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable): - Misuse of AFSPA can lead to legal challenges and demands for accountability. - Violations of human rights under AFSPA can result in legal actions against armed forces personnel. SOURCE: - Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958
