Q. Who declares disturbed area under AFSPA?
Answer:
The Governor of the State
Notes: The Armed Forces (Assam and Manipur) Special Powers Act, 1958 empowered only the Governors of the States and the Administrators of the Union Territories to declare areas in the concerned State or the Union Territory as 'disturbed'; hence, option (c) is correct. Recently, Nagaland has been declared as a "disturbed area" for another six more months.
