Udupi, 12 June 2012: Human rights are being violated by District Administration themselves. When the human rights committee President comes to the district to receive the complaints, it is the right of the people to give the complaints and the District Administration must make provision for this. But the DC office is located at end point, away from the city, where there is no bus facility, making it difficult for common man to come for submitting the complaint. Thus the right of the citizens to give complaint has been cut short!.
On Monday Human Rights Committee President Justice S.R. Nayak had arrived to DC Office complex to receive the complaints on human rights violation, but the complaints received were only 6. In last year when the DC Office was in Udupi about 10 – 15 complaints were being received. But the situation is that, being deprived by the human rights the general public have to hesitate to come to DC Office.
There is no bus facility to go to the DC office complex located at End Point in Manipal. People will have to come to Udupi in one bus and catch another bus to Manipal and after getting down in Manipal they will have to take a auto paying rupees 15 – 20. But the Officers moving around in air-conditioned cars are not arranging the bus facility means it is a violation of human rights.
This problem has been brought to the notice of Committee President. The discussion took place on the fact that, though the government buses are ready to operate, due to the domination of the private buses it is not becoming possible. President has instructed the officers to take appropriate action.

Do you think the are really worried about Human rights. They are worried about their own rights. Do they visit any village..??? They want villagers to reach them....This is all game. Can anybody give an account of how much money is spent on his visit only for 6 complaints...!!!???? | |

It is a very sad story and it looks like the human rights commission is not for common people and hence office is moved to unreachable to common man. Secondly, there is always hindrance from Bosses of Private buses for introducing govt buses in any route and these greedy boses think of only their pocket and do not think or worry of about common people s plight. The best way is organize a campaign to highlight these problems and get the transportation or location of office to be moved to a reachable distance of the common man. | |

The founders of Manipal as an education, finance, media and health services town have adequate resources of money, access to information and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Manipal needs a town hall owned or Pai-clan owned matadors that go round the town, halting at such points to ferry the visitors around the town. Both the town and Pai clan will be proud of this, which is not a novel idea. I have used such Victorian period wagons in some such towns in US and EU. |
