Complaints must be investigated
We believe, the government and the law enforcing agencies are aware of the various specific complaints, lodged by the individuals or organizations, which were published or reported in the print or electronic media. People have the right to know what action the govt. or the relevant agencies have taken on those particular issues. Otherwise, what's the use of publishing the complaints against various irregularities and corruption at different levels? Sometimes, specific complaints are published against different persons'/organizations' irregularities and corruption, drawing the kind attention of the head of the government, which should be investigated on priority basis by the law enforcing agencies, and the steps taken by the authorities should be made public.
The Right to Information Act has already been passed and people are now very hopeful. As a student of law, I firmly believe that if we can't be able to establish the rule of law, we will be lagging behind as a nation. And I request the govt. as well as the respective authorities to protect human rights at all levels.
