Staff Correspondent

SHIMLA: The Lawyers for Human Rights International, an organisation defending human rights and providing legal aid to the poor launched its first branch in the hill state of Himachal here on Saturday.

Addressing a press conference in the State capital its Chief Patron Advocate Amar Singh Chahal said that there is an upsurge and gross violations of human rights in the shape of police atrocities, negligible medical and educational facilities, depletion of environment and gross abuse of power by the corrupt politicians on the name of inviting industry in the hill State.

He said the organisationwould soon expose the politician-bureaucrat nexus and rampant corruption going on in the various government departments in Himachal.

Mr. Chahal also claimed that it was the Human Rights Council which was instrumental in getting Himachal ADGP B.S.Thind arrested by the CBI in various land scams.
