Ilam, Dec 16: Commissioner at the National Human Rights Commission
(NHRC), Prakash Wasti, has said the media persons and rights activists could
help establish citizens' socio-economic and cultural rights because the country
has already entered the peace process.
At a discussion held with the media persons and rights activists in
the district on Monday, Commissioner Wasti informed that the NHRC was
formulating a five-year strategic plan effective from 2015, so it was garnering
suggestions how it could make the plan effective.
According to him, the strategy has four broad topics which include 34
sub-headings. Some agenda included in
the strategic plan are- process to file application in the NHRC, method to get
the past agreements on peace process implemented, the way to promote publicity
of awareness campaign and reach to each house, and the issues of marginalized,
ethnicities, displaced and destitute.
The NHRC, as Wasti said, was now collecting suggestions how it could
squarely address the local needs and solve the problems reaching every hamlet.
On the occasion, Chairman of Human Rights Forum in the district, Mohan
Singh Thebe, said the people were deprived of their economic rights. So, time
has come for the NHRC to focus on socio-economic and cultural rights of the
people, reaching every distant village.
Director at NHRC, Subarna Karmacharya, and eastern regional
coordinator Koshraj Neupane said the NHRC team also inspected the district
hospital and jail. RSS
