Women commission chairperson to be appointed soon: KTR
Telangana IT Minister KT Rama Rao
Minister KT Rama Rao said that the government will soon appoint a chairperson to the Telangana women commission for the welfare of the women in the state responding to the tweet of social activist Sunitha Krishnan.
Minister KT Rama Rao said that the government will soon appoint a chairperson to the Telangana women commission for the welfare of the women in the state responding to the tweet of social activist Sunitha Krishnan.
Sunitha Krishnan, chief functionary and co-founder of Prajwala, a non-governmental organisation said that it is not a good sign to have a state without a functional women's commission for more than two years. "If there is no suitable woman within the party then to nominate suitable women with no political affiliation is a good idea," she tweeted.
Reacting to the tweet, the minister said that the issue will be brought to the attention of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and ensure a fully functional women's commission.
On October 5, the state High Court also asked the government as to when it will appoint a chairperson to the state women commission and how much time was required. The court said that the statutory bodies like women commission should not be left without chairpersons.
The chairperson for the state women commission post fell vacant since the completion of the term of Tripurana Venkataratnam in July 2018 and no person was appointed in the post.
