Social activist moves NHRC
Our Correspondent
Kaithal, May 26
A Panchkula-based social activist has written to the National Human Rights Commission regarding an incident in which a woman delivered a baby in a toilet at the Civil Hospital in Kaithal recently. RP Malhotra also sent clippings of the news report which appeared in The Tribune on May 23.
In his letter, Malhotra alleged negligence on part of the hospital staff as the woman delivered the baby alone with the help of her husband.
He said it was a case of human rights violation and requested the NHRC to take cognizance of the report and initiate suo motto action. He also sought compensation for the woman.
