The directive follows a complaint filed by human rights advocate Radhakanta Tripathy who raised concerns over the 'deplorable' living conditions faced by families relocated from the coastal village of Satabhaya, which has been steadily eroded by the sea over the past several decades.

The NHRC held a hearing May 5. Acknowledging the gravity of the situation, the rights body directed the district authorities to submit an ATR within four weeks.
