On the second day, July 29, the Commission will meet senior state government officials at 11:00 AM to discuss key human rights concerns and emphasize the importance of timely redressal. This interaction will also review the steps taken by the Telangana government in response to NHRC advisories aimed at protecting vulnerable communities.
Later that afternoon, at 2:00 PM, the NHRC will engage with representatives from civil society organizations, NGOs, and Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) to understand ground-level challenges and gather feedback on human rights conditions in the state.
The session will conclude with a press briefing to share the outcomes of the camp sitting and highlight the actions taken on various complaints.
The NHRC has been organizing such open hearings and camp sittings in different states since 2007 to provide prompt relief to victims. The most recent camp was held last week in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. In the past, similar sessions have taken place in states like Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and several others.
