NHRC team may visit Greater Noida village

By IANS,

New Delhi: The apex human rights body of the country is contemplating sending a team to Bhatta Parsaul village in Greater Noida where clashes between agitating farmers and police left four people dead Saturday.

“The commission has received complaints regarding the issue and is contemplating, as of now, on sending a team of members to the village,” an NHRC official said.

Four people, including two policemen, were killed in an exchange of gunfire between farmers protesting land acquisition and the police.

The farmers are agitating for higher compensation for land taken for constructing the 156-km Yamuna Expressway, which will link New Delhi with Agra and reduce travel time by an hour.
