Delhi High Court Orders Survey for Sanitary Facilities at Police Stations
The Delhi High Court has directed the Delhi Police Commissioner to survey all police stations within six weeks to assess the availability of sanitary pad vending machines and exclusive washrooms for women personnel. The order follows a public interest litigation by the NGO Justice for Rights Foundation highlighting the lack of menstrual hygiene facilities and private washrooms for female officers. Based on the survey, the police must take appropriate steps to install these facilities. The court has scheduled the next hearing for September 23 and requested an affidavit detailing compliance.
