JAMMU, June 21: National Conference Provincial President Devender Singh Rana today sought National Human Rights Commission probe into the tragic and shocking death of two kin of a COVID-19 victim in Jammu due to alleged negligence in following the laid down protocol with regard to last rites of the corona cases.
“Not only the necessary protocol was ignored but no compassion or attention was reportedly shown by the designated personnel, which led to deaths in most tragic circumstances”, Rana said while describing the incident as the worst human tragedy and grave violation of human rights.
The Provincial President said the scope of inquiry needed to be scaled up to find out the truth and to restore faith of the people in the system. Such negligence and pathetic approach negates the good work being done by frontline workers in fighting the pandemic and therefore it is imperative to identify the wrong-doers so that they are dealt in per law, he said, adding that the incident has shaken the conscience of the people, who received this chilling news with shock and disbelief.
He expressed solidarity with the families who lost their kin, saying no words were enough to console their great loss. He prayed for peace to the departed souls and strength to the families to bear this irreparable loss.
