The BJP-IPFT Tripura government has initiated the process of relocating unauthorized religious structures in complaince with a Supreme Court directive, officials said Friday.
The apex court directive was given in 2009 and in 2013 the erstwhile Left Front government had passed a resolution on the issue and submitted an affidavit to it stating that the order would be implemented.
However, not much was done till this year when the BJP led coalition government in Tripura decided to act on it.
Additional secretary in the revenue department, L T Darlong said "The issue is still sub-judice in Tripura High Court. The state government will file an affidavit to the High Court on December 19 on the unauthorized religious structures in the state."
