NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court said that maintaining law and order in the Manipur issue is the responsibility of the elected government. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud made it clear during a hearing on the Manipur issue that the Supreme Court cannot take on law and order responsibilities.

A two-judge bench headed by the Chief Justice pointed out that the Supreme Court should not be used as a platform to further escalate the situation in Manipur. The court clarified that it is a humanitarian crisis.

Meanwhile, the Chief Secretary submitted a report on the current situation in the state. A copy of the report has also been given to the parties in the case. The petitions will be heard again tomorrow. Last week, the court directed the Chief Secretary to submit a report on the current situation in the state. Around 100 people have been killed in attacks in the state since May. Many people were injured.
