  The National Human Rights Commission has taken suo motu cognizance of a media report, carried on the 24th December, 2013 that women had to sleep on the floor after their operation for sterilization at a camp organised at Dhaneli Kanhar in Kanker district of Chhattisgarh. Some beds were arranged by the concerned authorities only when the media persons reached the spot. 

          Reportedly, the women who came for sterilization also had to wait for hours due to late arrival of doctors. 

The Commission has observed that the contents of the press report, if true, raise serious issue of violation of right to health and dignity of the women and issued notices to the Chief Secretary, Chhattisgarh and District Magistrate, Kanker calling for a report in the matter within two weeks.
