UP: Vishakha Committee restructured

Lucknow, March 29 (UNI) In a bid to check exploitation and sexual harassment of female government employees in the workplace, the Complaint Committee (Vishakha Committee) within the Uttar Pradesh Secretariat has been restructured as the Internal Complaint Committee.
Earlier, only the employees of the Secretariat Service were included in the scope of this committee. However, under the revised structure, the entire Secretariat will be considered a single unit, encompassing all officers and employees, except those belonging to the IAS cadre.
Principal Secretary of the AYUSH and Stamp and Registration Department Leena Johri has been appointed as the Chairperson of the committee. This decision is expected to enhance the safety and security of women employed within the secretariat while also boosting their self-confidence.
