NHRC seeks ATR on preparedness to meet emergency situation in Bhubaneswar

Kendrapara, Nov 8 (UNI) The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has sought an Action Taken Report (ATR) from the Odisha Home Secretary on the preparedness to meet the emergency in Bhubaneswar.
Acting on a petition filed by Rights Activist Radhakanta Tripathy the NHRC sought the ATR within four weeks. A copy of the order was also marked to Odisha DGP for his information and needful action.
The order of the NHRC came recently to handle the unpreparedness of the State Capital to face exigencies, like the situation that cropped up after the Petrol Pump blast on October 7 near Raj Bhavan in Bhubaneswar.
The Government hospitals in Bhubaneswar, Mr Tripathy said are not well equipped to deal with patients with burn injuries.
The traffic jam from Bhubaneswar to Cuttack where the injured were treated could not get proper medical attention and there was a delay in ensuring treatment also, Mr Tripathy said.
The negligence and failure of the State Governments to ensure safety, fire fighting infrastructure, continuous surveillance and vigil to protect human rights, timely proper medical treatment, proper traffic management amounts to serious violation of human rights, he alleged.
The Rights activist urged the NHRC to take this case as extremely urgent and ensure proper health care facilities in Government Hospitals in Bhubaneswar, fire safety, traffic management and ancillary and incidental issues to meet the emergency situation in Bhubaneswar.
The apex human rights watchdog sought the Action Taken Report latest by December 10 this year.
Earlier, acting on a petition filed by Mr Tripathy, the NHRC sought Action Taken Reports from the Chief Secretary and the Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas over the explosion in the Petrol Pump.
