NHRC Acts on Ratnagiri School Pollution Complaint

Students from an Urdu school in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, have complained about pollution from nearby bauxite mining.

They say the dust and noise from mining trucks are making them sick and disrupting their classes.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken up their complaint and asked local authorities to investigate.

The students want the mining activities near their school to stop, especially during school hours.

They also want an independent check of the pollution levels.

The authorities have two weeks to report back to the NHRC.

The students believe the mining is too close to their school and is harming their health and education.
