Delhi High Court Orders Sanitary Pad Machines and Women’s Washrooms in Police Stations
The Delhi High Court has directed the city police to install sanitary pad vending machines and provide exclusive washrooms for women personnel at all police stations. The court ordered the Commissioner of Police to conduct a survey within six weeks to assess the availability of these facilities and take necessary steps based on the findings. The directive follows a public interest litigation filed by an NGO seeking basic menstrual hygiene and sanitation provisions for female police staff. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on September 23.
