Imphal, May 26 2020:
A Division Bench of High Court of Manipur today directed the MHRC to inspect status of quarantine centres opened in all districts and file a report of its findings within 15 days.
The Division Bench of the High Court of Manipur comprising of Justice Lanusukum Jamir and Justice Kh Nobin gave the directive during hearing of PIL (Public Interest Litigation) filed to set up adequate quarantine centres to accommodate stranded State natives coming back from different cities across India.
The PIL had also enquired about the status of the quarantine centres and sought Government and authorities concerned to follow WHO guidelines in the centres.
The PIL claimed that the quarantine centres set up by the Government lack the prescribed standards laid down by WHO as well as the National Centre for Disease Control.
The Court gave 10 days time to Govt to file counter affidavit and fixed June 15 for further hearing of the PIL.
