Gurugram, Feb. 20 -- The Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) has taken suo motu cognisance of the accident at the Surajkund fair, Faridabad in which a police officer lost his life and 13 visitors were injured. The accident occurred around 6:30 pm on February 7 when an electrically operated amusement ride carrying nearly 26 people suddenly collapsed. Police Inspector Jagdish Prasad, who rushed to rescue the trapped visitors, was fatally injured after another portion of the structure collapsed during the operation. The commission on Thursday termed the incident a serious violation of the right to life and warned of zero tolerance towards lapses in public safety at large gatherings, said officials. The commission, headed by chairperson Justice Lalit Batra, along with members Kuldip Jain and Deep Bhatia, observed that the Surajkund Mela is a globally recognised cultural event. "A fair (mela) must be 'fair' in all perspectives," the commission observed. Issuing strict directions, the commission ordered mandatory third-party safety audits, prior certification by a multidisciplinary technical committee, deployment of adequate medical and rescue teams, weather-risk assessment protocols to be in place before conducting a fair. It also warned of penal and disciplinary action. Assistant registrar of HHRC Dr Puneet Arora said, "In view of the serious allegations and loss of life, the commission has sought detailed reports from all concerned authorities."
