Indore: Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission has taken cognizance in the matter of taking home isolated asymptomatic patients to COVID Care Centre, forcibly. The Commission has sought a report from the Divisional Commissioner-Indore and from the Indore Municipal Corporation’s commissioner in seven days.

The commission has mentioned that officials have taken over 277 patients to CCC including those who were asymptomatic and even those who recovered from COVID infection.
