NEW DELHI: The NHRC on Wednesday issued a notice to the Delhi government and the city's police chief over death of four men after they got trapped inside a sewer in northwest Delhi's Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar area in Rohini.
Issuing the notice, the commission expressed concern that despite there being laws, Supreme Court judgments and its own interventions to provide safety equipment to such workers, "poor people are dying while working in sewer lines, which is completely unwarranted".
