NHRC Action on Alleged Harassment of Girl Students in Rajasthan
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), India, has taken suo motu cognizance of media reports concerning the physical and emotional harassment of girl students at a government school in Liwali village, Sawai Madhopur district, Rajasthan.
