"The reports must include the details of compensation paid or if not, show cause why it should not be recommended to be paid to the next of kin of the four victims," the Commission said.The Commission has also asked the details of the case registered, if any, against those who engaged them for sewage cleaning without providing adequate safety equipment.The NHRC has observed that despite laws and Supreme Court judgment, every other day, deaths in sewage cleaning are being reported from various parts of the country due to the lack of safety equipment, which is "tantamount to violation of human rights.""It is completely unwarranted that the poor people die for their livelihood due to lackadaisical attitude on the part of the authorities.
