AFSPA & Human Rights Violation

<p>This book is centered on understanding public sentiment with a primary emphasis on formulating</p><p>constructive solutions derived from input provided by various stakeholders and civil society</p><p>organizations.</p><p>Unfortunately Ukhrul district was considered a 'disturbed area' even before AFSPA was imposed in the</p><p>whole state of Manipur on 8th September 1980. The fact is even if there is peace and harmony in the</p><p>state it is always considered disturbed due to hostility. Taking advantage of this gross human rights</p><p>violations have been committed for decades. Several protests and rallies have been staged but have gone</p><p>unnoticed by the Central and State governments leaving much agitation and protests in vain.</p><p>The overarching goal of this book is to foster a deeper understanding between the Armed Forces and the</p><p>residents of Ukhrul with a concurrent emphasis on making positive contributions to enhance the overall</p><p>well-being of the state of Manipur.</p>
