The Karnataka State Human Rights Commission (KSHRC) Chairman L. Narayana Swamy said the commission’s move to hold its hearings in the districts was helping it resolve many cases swiftly.
Speaking to reporters in Mysuru on Tuesday, January 30, starting their four-day visit to the district, Mr. Swamy said the commission, which used to hold its meetings in Bengaluru, realised that receiving information from various government departments was consuming a lot of time while addressing complaints originating from districts.
So, the commission comprising the Chairman and its members decided to visit the districts, where all the officials including the Deputy Commissioner and heads of various departments will be available, paving the way for addressing the complaints swiftly, he said.
