The first status report on the investigation of cases in ethnic conflict-hit Manipur will be submitted by the first week of October, a former Deputy National Security Adviser appointed by the Supreme Court for monitoring cases handed over to the CBI and special investigation teams (SITs) said on Friday.
D.D. Padsalgikar called on Manipur Governor Anusuiya Uikey and apprised her of the prevailing situation in the State, an official statement said.
He told the Governor that 42 SITs would be set up first to probe the violence-related cases expeditiously.
