AFP file photo NEW DELHI: The 13-lakh strong Army has created a new human rights cell headed by a Major-General for “greater transparency and probity” in its functioning in disturbed areas like Jammu and Kashmir and the northeast. Major General Gautam Chauhan, who was commissioned into the Gorkha Rifles, has taken charge as the first additional director general (human rights) at the Army headquarters in New Delhi. He will report directly to the Army vice-chief, with his branch being the nodal point to examine all human rights violation reports. The appointment of the ADG (HR) comes soon after the J&K Police last week charge-sheeted an Army officer (Captain Bhoopendra Singh) and two civilians for the alleged abduction and murder of three youths in Rajouri in July 2020.
