A government commission that monitors and enforces human rights in India has opened a probe into allegations reported by the Center for Public Integrity that villagers living near government-run uranium mines and others living downstream have persistently been exposed to high levels of radiation and suffered ill health as a result...The commission said one of its members, Justice Shri D. Mururgesan, had “observed” that the Center’s article raises “a serious issue of violation of rights to health of the workers and local residents, besides damage to the environment, flora and fauna".
