The primary objective of AFSPA is to provide the armed forces (including the Army, Air Force, and paramilitary forces) with special legal immunity and powers necessary to control internal conflict, militancy, and insurgency in regions where the civil administration and police are deemed incapable of maintaining law and order.https://forumias.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Gemini_Generated_Image_vfvc0mvfvc0mvfvc.png
