NHRC faults Assam govt in relief to riot victims

National Human Rights Commission on Tuesday accused the Assam government of not taking adequate steps for rehabilitation of riot victims of Kokrajhar and other places, saying most of them have not got monetary assistance and were living in overcrowded camps.

In a statement, the rights body made public the findings of its four-member team which visited riot-hit Kokrajhar, Chirang and Dhubri districts from August six to nine and submitted a report, which talked about problems in food supply and unhygenic conditions.
