The Cabinet on Thursday cleared the Women Protection Bill. The new bill is aimed to protect women against sexual harassment at workplace. The new law will cover all women staff including domestic help.
According to the Women Protection Bill, workplaces will have a panel for redressal of complaints. In a major decision in the Cabinet Committee meeting, according to sources, the clause that allowed the accused to prove innocence has been removed. Meanwhile, the Cabinet Committee on Security also cleared the Indian Air Force trainer jets deal, which has been a major IAF requirement. The government cleared the Rs 2900-crore worth deal to procure 75 Pilatus basic aircraft trainer for IAF. The lack of a basic trainer since 2009 has been a serious setback in pilot training. Although the Swiss Pilatus was selected in 2011 itself, a competing Korean aircraft maker had objected, setting off a vicious dogfight.
