Delhi, West Bengal govts not implementing central’s women empowerment scheme: Minister Annapurna Devi
New Indian ExpressNEW DELHI: Union Women and Child Development Minister Annapurna Devi on Tuesday slammed the Delhi and West Bengal governments for failing to implement crucial women's safety measures despite central funding and support. Highlighting that the central government is focused on women-led development, the minister said that the Delhi government had not paid the staff of One-Stop Centres established under the Nirbhaya Fund to assist women in distress. "The centre has consistently supported states through initiatives like the Nirbhaya Fund, but it is disappointing to see delays in implementation at the state level," the minister told the media. The minister also criticised the West Bengal government for not operationalising Fast Track Special Courts to expedite cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
