Commission took cognisance of complaint alleging that COVID norms are being flouted
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Tuesday issued notices to the Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh governments on a complaint that farmers’ protests violated COVID-19 norms, endangering themselves and others. The NHRC said the complainant alleged that the situation was likely to worsen with an inflow of protesters at the sites. The complainant sought the NHRC’s intervention as the farmers have planned to observe Wednesday as a “black day”, marking six months since they began their agitation against the Centre’s new agriculture laws. The NHRC asked the three Chief Secretaries for reports within four weeks on steps taken to curb the spread of COVID-19 at the protest sites.
