<span style="color: #222222;">National human Rights Commission, NHRC has sent notices to the Punjab and Uttar Pradesh governments over reports of a migrant woman pulling a suitcase with her child sleeping half hung on it on the Agra highway during the ongoing novel coronavirus-induced lockdown.<br />''<br />'' It has issued notices to the chief secretaries of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh and the district magistrate of Agra, seeking a detailed report within four weeks, including action taken against officials responsible, and relief and assistance provided to the victim family.  It said that it is aware of the unprecedented situation and that the central and state governments are working sincerely to address every issue coming up during the lockdown. NHRC said it is strange that the pain of the child and the family could be seen and felt by many enroute, except local authorities. The Commission said the incident amounts to violation of human rights and requires intervention by the NHRC.</span><br />
