The Haryana Human Rights Commission has expressed grave concern over a childbirth incident that occurred on May 16 at a first referral unit (FRU) government hospital in Faridabad’s Ballabgarh. A woman gave birth in the parking lot due to locked gates preventing her entry. Commission chairman Justice (retired) Lalit Batra criticized the implementation of the Haryana government's Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK), which is intended to provide free and safe delivery services. The commission has mandated several authorities to provide detailed reports on the incident, highlighting failures in the public healthcare system that denied timely medical care. The commission noted that such negligence violates the rights guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution, which includes the right to life and dignity. The health condition of both the mother and child is reportedly stable. The commission has also directed the health department to outline corrective measures to prevent future occurrences and ensure round-the-clock emergency services. The family had arrived at the hospital at 1:40 AM, but the locked gates delayed their entry, resulting in the woman delivering by torchlight. In response to the incident, disciplinary actions have been taken against several staff members.
