<span style="color: #222222;">It is the duty of the government to impart justice not the Courts, executive machinery to impart the justice, Courts come only into the picture when there is a grievous violation, said Justice Arun Kumar Mishra, Chairperson, National Human Rights Commission of India (NHRC) today at Guwahati.<br />'' <br />'' Addressing the inaugural session of the two days NHRC Camp Sitting and Public Open Hearing for the cases of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Sikkim, and Nagaland at Guwahati, Justice Mishra Said that executive officers have wider power for the upliftment and emancipation of the downtrodden. Jail should be a place for reformation, it should be like an Ashram, added the Chairperson.<br />'' <br />'' Today, 31 cases pertaining to the states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Sikkim, and Nagaland were taken up in a single sitting. These include fresh complaints received in response to the Commission's public notices for open hearing as well as some earlier registered cases, in which the requisite reports from the concerned State authorities have not been received. The cases were heard in the presence of complainants and concerned public authorities for on-the-spot redressal of grievances of the victims of rights violations.<br />'' <br />'' Tomorrow, the Commission will hold a meeting with NGOs and Human Rights Defenders to ascertain the human rights situation and related issues in these five States. This will be followed by a meeting with the senior officers of all the five States to discuss the important human rights issues along with 9 cases that are already in progress before the Full Commission will also be taken up for consideration.<br />'' <br />'' The Commission has been organizing 'Open Hearing and Camp Sittings' in different states of the country since 2007 and has so far held more than 40 such sittings and hearings with the objective of quick disposal of cases and to sensitize and create awareness about human rights at the grassroots. Due to Covid-19 guidelines and restrictions, the Commission could not hold any Camp Sittings and Open Hearings after Raipur, Chhattisgarh in February 2020 but with the improvement in the Covid situation, it restarted these with the two day Sitting in Shillong for three North- Eastern States of Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura, which concluded on  15th December 2021.<br />'' <br />''NHRC Members, Justice M.M. Kumar and Rajiv Jain, Secretary-General, Bimbadhar Pradhan, and other senior officers of the Commission and State Governments were also present.</span><br />
