NHRC Issues Notice Over Hazardous River Crossing Near Mainpur

Following reports highlighting the perilous daily trek of schoolchildren across an incomplete bridge near Mainpur, the NHRC intervened, labeling the situation a serious breach of human rights. The commission’s notice requests a comprehensive status report covering construction delays and safety measures. While Public Works Department officials recently replaced a single-rod iron step with a plate-supported staircase, the core issue of the unfinished bridge remains, leaving children to ascend a precarious climb daily.
