The report must contain the supporting data mentioning the steps taken/proposed to be taken by the authorities to prevent the Devadasi system and to provide the Devadasis rehabilitation and social security so that they could lead their lives with dignity. It should also mention whether any local laws have been enacted in the States to prevent such social evil, and if not what steps have been proposed to be taken to eradicate it, NHRC in a statement stated.

The Commission took suo motu cognizance of a media report on the continued menace of Devadasi system, especially in southern part of India. Reportedly, the Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh governments had declared this tradition of Devadasi as illegal in the year 1982 and 1988, respectively. However, reportedly, over 70,000 women have been leading their lives as Devadasi in Karnataka alone, it stated.

A Commission constituted under the chairmanship of Justice Raghunath Rao had reportedly held that there are 80,000 Devadasis in the States of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, it added.

Issuing the notices, the Commission observed that a few years back, it had received a complaint regarding the malpractice of Devadasi in the States of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. In response to its notices, the state authorities had denied the allegations. Various laws have also been enacted in the past to stop the malpractice of the Devadasi system but it is still prevailing, as the news report indicates. The Apex Court has also taken a stern stance in condemning the malpractice of dedicating young girls as Devadasis. It has described the practice as an evil done to women by subjecting them to sexual exploitation and prostitution. This is a serious issue of violation of Right to Life, Dignity and Equality of these victim women, it added.

UNI CM SHK2145。“山上风景好，空气也好，只是没有电，一到天黑，跟山下村子一比，简直是另一个世界。赶上天旱浇地、浇树，那更不用想了！”在西山居住的村民刘秀凡说。“往西山办电，可真不容易。”了解到西山村民的用电困难，虹螺岘供电所所长杨健向南票区供电公司领导作了汇报。该公司相关部门和供电所工作人员一同到西山进行现场勘察，发现西山离后潘庄子村变压器距离太远，从变压器接电根本不可能。此外，山上村民居住比较分散，果园土地面积较大，把电接到果园里距离太长，需要从山下把20多棵高压电线杆一直立到1公里外的山顶，还要把30多棵低压电线杆立到约1.5公里的每户果园中，工程量太大。特别是要把100千伏安变压器安装到山顶的电线杆上，把高低压线路架到山上，工程难度非常大。         　　面对西山8户村民期盼用上电的强烈渴望，感受村民们对靠天吃饭的担忧和依靠电力发展种植业发家致富的美好向往，南票区供电公司迎难而上，很快就批准了西山村民办电的申请。         　　4月初春，杨健带领虹螺岘供电所员工按计划开展施工。在还没完全解冻的西山山坡上，施工人员顶着五六级大风挖坑立杆。

C | 进入六月，气温升到零上27—28摄氏度，大家在杆上架线、安装变压器，一干一身汗，身上的工作服都能拧出水来。“进入6月，老天爷就没下过一场像样的雨。平地的庄稼都旱了，山上的作物再不浇都会枯死。真没想到供电公司会下这么大力气为西山8户村民办电，这真是太及时了，西山上百亩作物和上千棵果树有救了！”村民王延平指着从山下一直架设到山上的线路，面带笑容道出了心中的感慨。
