The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has formulated a 7-member committee to look into the post-poll violence in West Bengal, in compliance with the High Court order on 18 June. Now the committee has started receiving representations from complainants from Sunday, as per an official info

The members of the committee met the victims/complainants from 4 pm on Sunday and will meet from 10 am on Monday at the Staff Officer Mess of the CRPF at Salt Lake, the official said. According to the official, the panel members and several other teams of the NHRC “have been touring various places of West Bengal and inquiring into the veracity of these allegations.”

Following this, on 21 June, the West Bengal government filed an application seeking recall of the order. The government had claimed that it was not given adequate opportunity to place all facts on record, including the steps it took to address the violence.

The NHRC team is looking into the aspects of how many complaints have been lodged, what are the steps being taken by the local administration, and how many people were allegedly forced to flee their homes.
