New Delhi: Why has the government not ensured that Vishakha guidelines on sexual harassment are implemented across the civil aviation industry, the Delhi high court demanded to know on Wednesday.
Justice Hima Kohli asked the Centre and Delhi government to verify if airlines operating from the capital— international and domestic—have a sexual harassment committee as per the landmark Supreme Court guidelines. HC also questioned SriLankan Airlines on why it had not set up regular internal complaints committees, as per the guidelines, at its seven offices in India to look into instances of sexual harassment.
"What steps have you (Centre, Delhi government and airlines) taken for the implementation of Vishaka guidelines in all Airlines or at every workplace. You should have done it by now. You should ensure Vishaka guidelines are functional in every other organization," the court remarked.
