\n

National Human Rights Commission:<\/span> On 26-07-2025, the National Human Rights Commission (\u2018NHRC\u2019), took suo motu cognizance of a media report concerning the collapse of a government school building on 25-07-2025 in Jhalawar district, Rajasthan. The incident reportedly resulted in the death of 7 students and injuries to 28 others. According to the media report, citing administrative negligence, the local residents had previously informed the District authorities about the dilapidated condition of the school building, but no action was taken.<\/p>\n

The NHRC observed that the contents of the media report, if true, raise a serious issue of human rights violation. Consequently, it issued notices to the Chief Secretary, Government of Rajasthan, and the Superintendent of Police, Jhalawar, calling for a detailed report on the matter within two weeks.<\/p>\n

The report is expected to include the status of health of the injured students as well as compensation, if any, paid to the next of kin of the deceased.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
