Good to hear from you Utpal.
We have heard of these RECOMMENDATIONS, time and again.
But what translates into action or what OTHER Avatar it might
re-appear as, are the big questions?

Some good news for NE. The Administrative Reforms Commission, headed
by Veerappa Moily, has recommended that the dreaded Armed Forces
(Special Powers) Act, 1958 should be repealed. The gist of its
recommendations made public a few hours ago, goes like this :
"AFSPA, 1958 should be repealed. To provide for an enabling
legislation for deployment of Armed Forces of the Union in the NE
States of the country, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act,
1967 should be amended by inserting a new chapter VI A as
recommended by the Committee fo Review the AFSPA, 1958. The new
chapter VI A would apply only to the NE States."
I think Sanjoy-da (Hazarika) would be able to tell us more about the
Chapter VI A. As we all know, he was a member of the Justice Jeevan
Reddy Committee (The review committee), which also is understood to
have recommended its repeal. That report is not yet public, though.
