Which of the following is NOT listed among the HPEC priority matters?
- A.The use of pellet guns
- B.Harassment of female protestors
- C.Fixing compensation for industrial accidents
- D.Destruction of property on either side
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is fixing compensation for industrial accidents. Nothing of that kind falls within the reference to this Committee, which is confined to the incidents of violence under enquiry. Option A is wrong as an answer because the use of pellet guns is in fact one of the stated priorities. Option B is wrong as an answer because the harassment of women protestors is also named among the matters to be taken up first. Option D is wrong as an answer because excessive violence and the destruction of property occasioned on either side is the fourth of the priority heads, alongside targeted violence.
