Mar 6, 2021 - 13:31

A man named Vishnu Tiwari was sentenced to 19 years in prison for a crime he had never committed. The National Human Rights Commission is looking very strict on this matter. The NHRC has issued a notice to the Chief Secretary and DGP of UP in this matter (NHRC notice to UP DGP or Chief Secretary). The Human Rights Commission has asked for a full report till the acquittal of Vishnu after being convicted in the rape case. The Human Rights Commission particularly wants a report which contains a complete overview of the action taken against irresponsible public servants and the steps taken to rehabilitate Vishnu.

In six weeks, the Human Rights Commission has summoned a report in the Vishnu Tiwari case from the Chief Secretary and DGP of UP (NHRC Demand Report). Along with this, he has also questioned the functioning of the Sentence Review Board. The Human Rights Commission has said that the punishment board is not effective at the moment. He said that there have also been cases when innocent prisoners die in jail at the age of 75 years.

NHRC took cognizance of media report

The Human Rights Commission has taken cognizance in this matter through a media report. The commission has said that the 23-year-old youth was sentenced to life imprisonment by the trial court in the rape case. After 19 years, Allahabad High Court considered him innocent. He lost many of his family members during the sentence. Even after treating everyone well in jail, she was not even given parole to attend her father's funeral. He was not even allowed to attend the last rites of his brother.

After 19 years, innocence got justice

In 1999, a young man named Vishnu Tiwari was accused of raping a Dalit woman. In the same case, the lower court of Lalitpur district held Vishnu guilty. In the year 2005, Vishnu appealed for justice in the High Court. He could get justice after about 14 years. The very precious 19 years of Vishnu's life were wasted in prison.

Maharashtra: Lockdown rules will be given concession or will continue to be strict, may be decided in the meeting of all-party leaders today

Apr 10, 2021 - 22:05

The Maharashtra government imposed a severe Maharashtra lockdown on Monday to stop the second wave of Corona. Except for essential items, other shops are ordered to be closed till the 30th. This has caused resentment among the traders. Traders landed at many places in the state. The Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce has given a warning to open all shops from Monday. The BJP has given its support to the traders. On the other hand, seeing the transition of the corona in the state not decreasing, the working of the state government is being questioned on behalf of the central government.

Amidst these conditions, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray (CM Uddhav Thackeray) has called a meeting of all party meeting today. In this meeting, the status of corona infection, lack of vaccine, relaxation of the ban or a strong lockdown and the 10th-12th examination are to be considered and decided.

Three weeks of lockdown signs

Talking to Tv9, Congress leader and Minister Vijay Vadettivar on Friday indicated the lockdown of three weeks. Apart from them, some other leaders also believe that the weekend lockdown will not control corona. If the lives of innocent people are to be saved, the lockdown will have to be prolonged. There are also some festivals this week, due to which there is a possibility of increasing crowds in the markets. Therefore, many leaders are of the opinion that for at least a week, a strong lockdown should be imposed or else the situation will become more explosive due to increased crowd. As it is, there is a shortage of oxygen and ventilators beds in the state. The vaccine is falling short. Therefore, tightening the rules is the only solution.

While the traders have warned that shops will be opened in any condition from Monday. Now in such a situation, everyone's eyes are fixed on what the state government decides.

What will be the decision on the 10th-12th examination?

There is a constant demand that in view of the crisis of Corona, the 10th-12th examination should be canceled or its date should be extended. Examinations of first to eighth and ninth and eleventh have already been canceled in the state. All these students have been ordered to promote in the next class. Now to see what the state government decides about the 10th-12th examination.
