The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notice to Uttar Pradesh government over the death of a four-year-old girl due to alleged medical negligence.
Acting on media reports, the commission asked the UP director general of health services to file a report within four weeks, said an NHRC statement.

Her family members took her to a district hospital in Aligarh where she was denied first aid because of which she died minutes later.
