  • | Tuesday | 25th April, 2017

"A loss of life of any innocent person, whether in force or a civilian, is a matter of violation of human rights. RAIPUR: National Human Rights Commission is disturbed over the killing of 25 CRPF personnel by the Naxalites while on duty for securing road construction work in the Burkapal area of Sukma in Chhattisgarh on the April 24 and condemns it. A press release issued by NHRC said, the Commission stands for upholding human rights of all in the country and is consistent in its firm belief that the acts of violence are an anti-thesis to the struggle for protection of human rights. As part of a civilized nation, every citizen should stand up in condemning all such incidents that lead to death and destruction in place of development, peace, progress and prosperity. As part of a civil society, if we can question and make the security forces accountable for failing in their duties, we are also accountable for our duties towards nation building.
