Maharashtra Updates POSH Committees and Nashik Enforces Registration Deadline
The Maharashtra government has updated its district-wise list of external members for Internal and Local Committees under the POSH Act to address workplace sexual harassment. Establishments with 10 or more employees must form Internal Committees, while smaller workplaces can approach Local Committees. In Nashik, the District Collector mandated all establishments to form Internal Complaints Committees and register on the SHE Portal by August 15, warning of legal action for non-compliance. Additional measures include surveys and support for vulnerable women and enhanced police patrolling for safety.
