Group of ministers to see if laws against sexual harassment at workplace adequate

Hindustan Times  

The National Democratic Alliance government is forming a group of ministers headed by home minister Rajnath Singh to look into legal provisions against sexual harassment at the workplace, and to suggest amendments to the law, if necessary, to remove any infirmities, people with direct knowledge of the development said. Electronic and Print media journalists stand to protest against the sexual harassment at the work places as part of the #Metoo campaign at Parliament Street in New Delhi, India, on Saturday, October 13, 2018. A report will be submitted by the panel within three months after determining whether the prescribed safeguards against sexual harassment are adequate or need to be strengthened to serve as a deterrent. One aspect the panel will look into is a provision requiring a first information report to be filed with the police before criminal proceedings can be launched against an offender, the people cited above said; if an FIR is not in place, an offence of sexual harassment is dealt with merely as an administrative issue.
