NHRC demands explanation regarding maternal fatalities in Rajasthan
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has sent a formal notice to the Chief Secretary of Rajasthan concerning the deaths of mothers following childbirth at state-run hospitals in Banswara and Bhilwara. The commission has requested a comprehensive report within a fortnight, noting that if the media accounts are true, these events could represent a grave breach of the right to secure maternal medical care.
