The Supreme Court was informed that the Manipur government had earlier filed an affidavit and religious shrines have been identified and secured.
The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Manipur government to apprise the Supreme Court-appointed committee of the steps taken to secure places of public worship in the state where ethnic clashes have claimed more than 170 lives since May.
A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, which was considering the issue of restoration of places of worship, was informed that the state government had earlier filed an affidavit in the Supreme court and religious shrines have been identified and secured.
"The Government of Manipur shall within a period of two weeks furnish to the court-appointed committee a comprehensive list following the exercise of identification of all religious structures in the state which has been carried out," said the bench, also comprising Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra.
