New Delhi: The Centre has formed a committee to look into the withdrawal of Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) in Nagaland.

Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India Vivek Joshi will head the five-member committee and Additional Secretary in the Union Home



Ministry Piyush Goyal will be its Member-Secretary. 

The Chief Secretary and Director General of Police of Nagaland and the DGP of Assam Rifles will be the other members of the committee. The Centre formed the high-level committee three weeks after six civilians were killed in an Army ambush on December 4, and eight more in violence triggered by the incident in Nagaland’s Mon district.
