Due to the disturbance and insurgency in the state, the Government of India promulgated the Armed Forces Special Powers Act 1958 in Manipur State. Since 1980, the whole of Manipur has been a disturbed area under the Act. Vide this Act, the security forces have been given some extra powers so as to operate against the insurgents in the disturbed areas.

The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA), was passed on September 11, 1958, by the Parliament of India. It conferred special powers upon armed forces in what the act calls "disturbed areas" in the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. It was later extended to Jammu and Kashmir as The Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir) Special Powers Act, 1990 in July 1990.

However, in the modern times the role of the Armed forces has changed dramatically. Today, the armed forces are primarily operationally active in counter insurgency operations against various regional terror groups in the north-eastern states of our country and Jammu & Kashmir.

Initially, AFSPA was applicable to the north-eastern states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura.
