Haryana Human Rights Commission will soon get a new chairman, CM Nayab Saini calls meeting

It is believed that in this emergency meeting, apart from the chairman of the commission, two other members will also be considered and it is likely that orders will also be issued in this regard after the meeting.

Haryana Human Rights Commission is expected to get a new chairman soon. Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini has called an emergency meeting in this regard. Assembly Speaker Harvinder Kalyan and a Congress MLA are also expected to attend this meeting along with CM Saini. Home Secretary Anurag Rastogi may also attend the meeting.

It is believed that in this emergency meeting, apart from the chairman of the commission, two other members will also be considered and it is likely that orders will also be issued in this regard after the meeting.

It is worth noting that the posts of chairman and members in the commission have been lying vacant for about 14 months. While hundreds of complaints keep coming to the commission every month and the commission has also been resolving the complaints, but since the posts have become vacant, there has been a pile of complaints and the common people are facing huge difficulties.

Generally, there is one chairman and two members in the commission. The Haryana government has also been reprimanded by the Punjab-Haryana High Court for stopping the work. Not only this, the court has also said that if the posts are not filled till the next hearing, then the concerned officer will have to appear in the court personally and the petitioner will have to pay Rs 50 from his pocket as the cost of the case.

Let us tell you that a person from Kaithal had filed a petition demanding the filling of the posts of the Human Rights Commission, on which the government had assured the court to fill the posts first by March 30 and then immediately after the elections. But till now neither the chairman nor other members have been recruited, seeing which the court had taken a strict stand.
