The National Human Rights Commission on Thursday took suo motu cognisance of a report that four persons died after inhaling toxic fumes while cleaning the sewer tank in a private hospital in Haryana s Faridabad district.
Director General of Police Ashish Bhatia said, “We have ordered an inquiry into the policemen seen in the video. Action will be taken only after the inquiry.”
India on Thursday abstained from voting on a draft resolution in the UN Human Rights Council on holding a debate on the alleged mistreatment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang province of China.
Justifying India s stand on abstaining from voting in UNHRC on atrocities of Uyghurs by China, India in its first comment said that the human rights of people in Xinjiang should be respected and the abstention of the vote at UNHRC is in line with India s long practice of not voting on country-specific resolutions.
