Dispose off riot victims' bodies in 2 weeks, SC orders Manipur

Scotching attempts by certain civil society organisations to fuel tension in Manipur by preventing relatives from claiming bodies of persons killed during the ethnic conflict, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the state government to dispose of the bodies stored for months in mortuaries, if the relatives did not claim them in two weeks for last rites at nine earmarked sites. SC directed collectors and superintendents of police in districts where nine sites for burial/cremation have been earmarked to facilitate the last rites without any "let and hindrance by any group or person".
