The Supreme Court of India has issued multiple directives aimed at enhancing public safety and human rights protections. It has directed states and union territories to ensure obstruction-free and disabled-friendly footpaths, safeguarding pedestrians' fundamental right to clear and unhindered walkways. The Court also ordered the central government to prioritize the establishment of dedicated Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) courts to exclusively handle cases of sexual offences against children. Additionally, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has urged all states to immediately implement the Supreme Court's 14 directives aimed at eliminating the hazardous practice of manual cleaning of dangerous waste. The NHRC emphasized the need for robust monitoring systems, real-time compliance, deterrence measures, and regular follow-ups to track progress on these directives.
