In April 2018, the Ministry of Home Affairs decided to completely withdraw the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) from the state of Meghalaya. This followed a significant improvement in the security situation in the state. While AFSPA continued to be applicable in certain districts or police station areas in other Northeastern states like Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Assam at that time, it was fully removed from Meghalaya.
