New Delhi, July 18 (IBNS) National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Friday said it has issued notice to the Madhya Pradesh government over reports that autopsies were being done in an open room of a collapsed building of the Government Hospital at Garhakota town of Sagar district in the state.
"The National Human Rights Commission has taken suo motu cognizance of a media report that for over three years, the residents of Bhagat Singh Ward in Garhakota Town of District Sagar in Madhya Pradesh had been leading a 'hellish life' due to autopsies being done in an open room of a collapsed building of the Government Hospital. The repeated complaints to the hospital authorities regarding this had failed to evoke any response," the NHRC said in a statement.
 
"The Commission has observed that the contents of newspaper report, if true, raise a serious issue of violation of right to health. Accordingly, notice has been issued to the Principal Secretary (Health), Government of Madhya Pradesh calling upon him to submit a detailed report within four weeks," it said.
