Within what period has the NHRC sought an Action Taken Report on its advisory?

  1. A.One month
  2. B.Two months
  3. C.Six months
  4. D.One year

Correct answer

B. Two months

Explanation

The correct answer is two months. The commission urged all the authorities concerned to implement the recommendations in the advisory and to furnish an Action Taken Report within two months, so that it stays informed about the progress made. Option A is wrong because a month is shorter than the period allowed, and such a deadline would leave little time for ministries, the Railway Board and the states to report. Options C and D are wrong because six months and a year are both longer than the period set, and the commission's stated intention was to follow up without delay. For revision, remember the chain of this item: the NHRC issues an advisory, the advisory names eight areas of action, the recipients include ten Union ministries along with the Railway Board and all states and union territories, and the Action Taken Report is due in two months.
