The entire state was under AFSPA but after the alleged rape and murder of Thangjam Manorama by personnel of 17 Assam Rifles protests started and the government decided to withdraw AFSPA from the Greater Imphal area covering seven Assembly constituencies.
Subsequently, as the situation improved, more areas were withdrawn from the purview of the Act.
