New facility for receiving complaints by NHRC through mobile telephone

With a view to facilitating contact by the public with the National Human Rights Commission in case of emergencies after office hours and on holidays, the Commission has designated a special telephone number for receiving complaints. A senior officer of the Commission will be in-charge of this facility and will attend to the complaints. The Commission hopes that this arrangement will prove useful to the public.

The service was opened to the public from 26 June 2000. It will be available from 6.00 P.M. on every working day till 10.00 A.M. next morning and round the clock on holidays. On working days, during the office hours, the public are free to contact the Commission on its regular phone numbers. The officer receiving the call on mobile phone will render assistance and offer advice to the complainant. Where necessary and urgent, he will contact the appropriate authorities for initiating action. The Commission can be contacted on mobile phone number 98-102-98 900.
