Gujarat govt submits 400-page report to NHRC

The Gujarat government on Wednesday submitted a 'comprehensive' report into the recent communal violence to National Human Rights Commission, which had earlier rejected its preliminary report as 'perfunctory'.

"The state government has submitted its comprehensive report of nearly 400 pages into the recent incidents of communal violence in various places, including Godhra and Ahmedabad," sources said.

Besides the main report in about 135 pages, annexures number around 265 pages, they said, adding the whole document was in three volumes.

The report deals with tackling of problems relating to minorities during the riots, measures taken for smooth running of state activities, including conducting examinations for school children, deployment of police and paramilitary forces among other issues, they said.

The annexures enclosed with the report were on law and order, relief and rehabilitation and responses to the media coverage, the sources said.

NHRC is expected to consider the report in its full commission meeting in next few days, the sources said.

However, P C Sen, a member of the NHRC, speaking to Star News said that the report is incomplete.

He said that some pages were missing from the report, adding that the Commission received a 'phone call from the Gujarat government' about problems in the 'physical compilation of the report'.

He said that the complete report is expected to reach them on Thursday.
