The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued a four-week deadline to the West Burdwan District Magistrate and the Commissioner of Police for an action-taken report regarding polluting industries allegedly causing silicosis in the Salanpur block. The NHRC is acting on a complaint alleging that silicosis patients are misdiagnosed and that factory managements should be held responsible. This follows an earlier reminder sent to the state Chief Secretary, emphasizing the seriousness of the issue and the potential for NHRC intervention if the report is not submitted.
