STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The Armed Forces ( Special Powers) Regulation , 1958 , was pro- mulgated to confer special powers on officers of the Armed Forces to enable them to aid effectively the civil power in the disturbed areas of Kohima and Mokokchung districts of the then Naga Hills- Tuensang Area. Though the duration of the Regulation was initially for one year, it was extended from year to year having regard to the circumstances prevailing in those arcas and the current extension is due to expire on the 4th April , 1966. It is proposed to provide for the continuance of the Regulation for a further period of one year as the stage for dispensing with it has not yet been reached .
2.It is further proposed to extend the application of this Regula- tion to Tuensang district of Nagaland in order to facilitate use of the Armed Forces of the Union in this district also and to have uni- formity in the deployment of forces and conduct of operations throughout Nagaland . The Regulation is at present applicable to Mokokchung and Kohima districts only .
3. The Bill seeks to achieve the above objects .
