AP Human Rights Commission Inactive for 17 Months
Imagine a special group in Andhra Pradesh that helps people if their rights are not respected.
This group is called the Human Rights Commission, and it used to help with these problems.
But it hasn't been working for a long time because they don't have the right people in charge.
They need a leader and members to look into complaints, but the process to get them has been delayed.
Because of this, many people's problems are not being addressed, and the group can't do its job.
AP Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has been non-functional since March 2024.
The commission, based in Kurnool, lacks a chairperson and committee members.
The previous government started the appointment process, but it stalled.
The new government initiated another notification but appointments are still pending.
Over 10,000 human rights violation cases remain unresolved.
