Bare Act

The Manipur Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archeological sites and Remains Act, 1976

This Act regulates protection of ancient and historical monuments and archaeological sites in Manipur. It applies to all state-level sites while excluding those already designated as national importance by Parliament. The legislation declares certain monuments or archaeological sites either previously protected under the 1904 Central Act as protected in Manipur. It empowers the government to declare privately owned or state-owned monuments as protected, allowing regular maintenance, repairs, and controlled excavation. By providing legal protections for these heritage sites, the legislation safeguards Manipur's valuable cultural artifacts and historical relics against destruction or neglect, ensuring proper conservation and historical research for future generations.
