The Nanavati Commission report on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in New Delhi is likely to be placed before the Parliament on Friday. The Action Taken Report (ATR), prepared by the Union Home Ministry, is slated to be placed before the Union Cabinet tomorrow for approval.

Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil today told the Rajya Sabha that the ATR had been prepared and was awaiting Cabinet clearance.
