In Chandigarh, India, 24 women staff members of a government senior secondary school have formally accused a male colleague of harassment, alleging repeated use of abusive language, verbal threats, and intimidating behavior. The complaint, filed on February 12 under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, has not prompted any interim administrative action, allowing the accused to continue working in the same environment. The women have expressed that the accused's actions have created a hostile workplace, affecting their dignity and safety. Despite their demands for immediate action and protective measures, no relief has been provided. Additionally, the education department has established a parallel panel to investigate the issue, raising questions about the need for another committee when an Internal Complaints Committee already exists at the school. The situation has left the complainants concerned for their safety, with warnings of possible criminal proceedings if no action is taken soon.
