Education197813 sections

This Act amends the Manipur Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1976, to strengthen the protection of the state's cultural heritage. It updates legal definitions, such as clarifying the role of an "archaeological officer" and defining "protected areas" and "protected monuments." The amendment also modifies procedures for notifications and acquisitions, allowing the government to take over land more effectively. Furthermore, it explicitly includes activities like quarrying, excavating, and blasting as prohibited acts within these sites. These changes ensure better management and preservation of Manipur's historical and archaeological resources.
