These provisions allow the central government to take control of state functions during times of crisis, such as war, external aggression, or internal disturbances. When an emergency is declared, the power dynamics shift, with the Centre gaining more authority to manage the situation. This can lead to a temporary weakening of state autonomy, as the central government takes charge of law and order, financial matters, and other state responsibilities. While these provisions are meant to protect national security, they often raise concerns about federalism and the balance of power between the Centre and the states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
