Bengal's Justice Chatterjee Commission Report Delayed for 11 Years

Bengal's Justice Chatterjee Commission Report Delayed for 11 Years

The Justice Chatterjee Commission was set up by the West Bengal government in 2011 to investigate a tragic incident that happened in 1993.

The commission finished its work in 2014 and gave its report to the government.

However, the government did not present this report to the state assembly for 11 years.

This is unusual because the law says the report should be presented within six months.

The current government has now presented the report, saying it was delayed by the previous government.

The previous government says they were busy with many files and did not prioritize this report.

Some people think the delay was intentional to avoid political problems.

The report is finally in the assembly now, 11 years late.
