New Delhi, October 6

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) today sought details from the Haryana Government in regards to the death of four persons after inhaling toxic fumes while cleaning a sewer tank in a private hospital in Faridabad on Wednesday.

Notices have been issued to the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police, Haryana, calling for a detailed report in the matter. They have to submit the report in four weeks.

Issuing the notices, the commission said the report should include the measures taken by the state government and the measures it was planning to take to prevent such “gross violation of human rights” of the poor and underprivileged people.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
