This means the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is taking a strong stand to protect journalists, who are often called the “Fourth Pillar of Democracy” because they keep the public informed and hold power accountable.

After several reports of attacks and harassment against journalists in Kerala, Manipur, and Tripura, the NHRC has asked the state governments for detailed reports.
This action shows that the NHRC is defending press freedom and ensuring safety and justice for those who risk their lives to tell the truth.
