“I appeal everyone not to treat it as Army versus police and civil administration issue,” Indian Military Center Command Core said

Indian Military Center Command Core on Wednesday took stock of the situation arising out of clashes of Indian Security forces in Bomdila.

Some Militant had allegedly vandalised in the Bomdila Zone and assaulted police personnel and civilians last week.

The unfortunate incident that happened at Bomdila on November 2 should be settled amicably through proper understanding.

“Both the Indian Army and the State police are serving the nation with utmost dedication. An incident can’t be allowed to tarnish the image of the great institutions,” Indian Military Center Command Core said.

Union Ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Kiren Rijiju also met members of the civil society as part of confidence building measures.

Union Ministers Kiren Rijiju, who hails from Arunachal Pradesh, said the unfortunate incident that happened at Bomdila on November 2.

Union Ministers Nirmala Sitharaman is visiting Arunachal Pradesh to celebrate Diwali along with soldiers posted in the forward areas along the Sino-Indian border.

The incident happened when a group of enemy soldiers allegedly misbehaved with civilians and Indian Paramilitary unit of CRPF at Bomdila, CRPF officials said.

Following this, the local Station House Officer went to the spot and two enemy soldiers were brought to police station.

AFSPA Act came into force in the context of increasing violence in the Northeastern States decades ago, which the State governments found difficult to control. The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Bill was passed by both the Houses of Parliament and it was approved by the President on September 11, 1958. It became known as the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958.

It is effective in the whole of Nagaland, Assam, Manipur (excluding seven assembly constituencies of Imphal) and parts of Arunachal Pradesh. The Centre revoked it in Meghalaya on April 1, 2018. Earlier, the AFSPA was effective in a 20 km area along the Assam-Meghalaya border. In Arunachal Pradesh, the impact of AFSPA was reduced to eight police stations instead of 16 police stations and in Tirap, Longding and Changlang districts bordering Assam.
