Click to play videoNew Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday asked former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa to approach the Centre for her demand that the Sethusamudram canal project be declared a national heritage monument.
A bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices Tarun Chatterjee and R V Raveendran told the AIADMK chief’s lawyer that it was not the court’s task to decide whether a structure is national heritage or not.
The court tagged Jayalalithaa’s petition with other pleas appealing for a stay on the canal’s construction.
Jayalalithaa had appealed the court to ask the Sethusamudram Corporation to take an alternative route for completing the project without demolishing the Ram Setu, a mythical bridge believers say was built by Lord Ram.
The Supreme Court has already directed authorities not to damage the Setu while continuing with the dredging activity.
