Colombo (LNW): The Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) said it commenced a special initiative to probe over 11,000 complaints lodged by the public regarding human rights violations.

Accordingly, these complaints will be investigated at the head office and district level office, said HRCSL Commissioner Nimal Punchihewa.

Initial findings suggest that a portion of complaints submitted to the Commission would be better addressed by different entities, and these complaints, therefore, will be forwarded to the Public Service Commission, National Police Commission, Department of Labour and Consumer Affairs Authority.
