The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notices to municipal and police authorities in Nanded district, Maharashtra, following the tragic drowning of four children in a 15-foot-deep pit near a drain work site on April 16. The NHRC's action comes after a media report highlighted the incident, where the children, unaware of the pit's depth, entered the water while playing. Local residents and police attempted to rescue them, but unfortunately, they could not be saved. The NHRC has requested a detailed report from the Nanded Waghala City Municipal Corporation, the district magistrate, and the superintendent of police, which should include information on health status and any compensation provided to the victims' families. In addition, the NHRC is addressing other serious human rights violations, including a case in Odisha where a 12-year-old boy died after consuming stale food at a school hostel, and another incident in Haryana where two sanitation workers died from inhaling poisonous gases while cleaning a sewer line. The NHRC's proactive measures aim to ensure accountability and protect the rights of vulnerable individuals.
