Imphal, October 02 2015 :
Digging of earth for the construction of a market shed inside erstwhile Tombisana High School resumed this morning after it remained suspended for around nine months following the recovery of eight human skulls and skeletons during excavation works on December 25 last year.
However, the area from where the human skulls and skeletons were recovered is still kept untouched and digging of earth was carried out at other parts of the compound in the presence of a Duty Magistrate with full video coverage.
Following an order issued by Imphal West Magistrate, excavation works began at around 10 am.

The order mentioned that there would be no restriction on media coverage and inspection by the representatives of civil society organisations.
It may be mentioned that eight skulls and skeletons were recovered from the earth brought from Tombisana High School compound for ground levelling works at under construction civil Secretariat complex, Mantripukhri.
Lady bangles and rings were also recovered along with the skeletal remains.
Following a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Families of the Involuntary Disappeared Association, Manipur (FIDAM) and Human Rights Alert, excavation works were put on halt from the early part of January this year.
Security forces including CRPF and police commandos occupied the compound for many years after Tombisana High School was abolished.
