{'arunachal pradesh': [12, 0, 8, 12], 'assam': [13, 2, 2, 11], 'nagaland': [25, 4, 15, 26], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'armed forces': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'special powers': [0, 1, 1, 5], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41], 'act': [7, 1, 13, 45]}

The correct answer is option 3, Meghalaya. The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) is an act that grants special powers to the armed forces in certain parts of India to maintain public order. This act has been a subject of controversy due to allegations of human rights violations.

In Meghalaya, the AFSPA was completely removed recently. This means that the special powers granted to the armed forces under this act are no longer applicable in the state. The removal of AFSPA signifies a shift towards normalcy and an improvement in the security situation in Meghalaya.

It is important to note that the AFSPA is still in force in other parts of the country, including Assam and Nagaland. In these states, the armed forces continue to have special powers to combat insurgency and maintain law and order.

Overall, the removal of AFSPA in Meghalaya is a significant development, reflecting the progress made in terms of security and stability in the state.
