The notification also stated that the State Government would prioritise reopening of offices, shops and market places.
The Manipur High Court’s directive comes after it heard a PIL filed by a native of the State – Osbert Khaling.
The PIL challenged the Manipur Government’s June 30 notification.
The PIL argued that even fully vaccinated persons may also get infected with COVID-19 and become spreaders of the virus.
