Army chief Gen. Bipin Rawat says the Army has rules of engagements for operations to ensure that no inconvenience is caused to people. The act gives the security forces special rights and immunity in carrying out various operations in disturbed areas. The Army chief said though AFSPA has certain strong provisions, the Army is concerned about collateral damages and ensuring that its operations under the law do not inconvenience the local people. Gen Rawat said the Army has rules of engagements for various operations at every level to ensure that no inconvenience is caused to the people while it is operating under AFSPA. I think this is the best way and right way,” the Army chief said.
