The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has directed the Centre to pay compensation to the family members of Army personnel killed in the Kaluchak terrorist attack and sought a status report within eight weeks.

NHRC considered seven complaints, made in June this year, by relatives of those killed on May 14, 2002.

The victims’ relatives had alleged the government had not paid any compensation to them. The complainants sought the NHRC’s intervention for appropriate compensation to them.

At a recent meeting, the Commission decided to send copies of the complaints to the ministries of Defence and Home for taking ‘‘necessary action’’, a Commission release said today.
