The Rajya Gruharakhi Mahasangha, the association of Home Guards in the State, had on Friday knocked at the door of the Odisha Human Rights Commission (OHRC) against the lathicharge by police on the “peacefully demonstrating” Home Guards at PMG Square here on January 18 morning.
Taking the matter seriously, the OHRC has directed the State Government to file a reply in the matter and submit the CCTV footages of the dharna place, according to Mahasangha secretary Nirajan Senapati on Sunday.
It might be mentioned that the Home Guards were staging the dharna at the Lower PMG from January 15 demanding fulfilment of their seven-point charter of demands.
