Ms. Chakankar was addressing officials at a review meeting held at the District Superintendent of Police\u2019s office to assess the performance of the Bharosa Cell. Present at the meeting were District Collector Dr. Mittali Sethi<\/strong>, Superintendent of Police Shrawan Datt S.<\/strong>, Additional Superintendent of Police Ashit Kamble<\/strong>, Sub-Divisional Police Officer Sanjay Mahajan<\/strong>, District Women and Child Development Officer Vinod Valvi<\/strong>, and Deputy Education Officer (Primary) Dr. Yunus Pathan<\/strong>, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stated that all cases forwarded by the Women\u2019s Commission have been resolved<\/strong> by the district police administration through counseling centers and Bharosa Cells. She appreciated the swift action and emphasized that no pending cases from the commission remain unresolved<\/strong> in the district. She underlined the importance of taking domestic violence complaints seriously<\/strong> and suggested that the District Legal Services Authority and police<\/strong> play a proactive role in resolving such cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Chakankar also emphasized that in cases where courts have ordered compensation to women but payments are not made regularly, such matters must be brought to the court\u2019s attention<\/strong> and immediate legal action<\/strong> should be taken. \u201cThose who try to evade responsibility through legal loopholes must also be treated as offenders and punished accordingly,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n

She issued directives for immediate action against private sonography centers<\/strong> involved in illegal sex determination<\/strong>, urging district officials to act swiftly on such violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also instructed the administration to verify whether Internal Complaints Committees (ICCs)<\/strong> have been established in government, semi-government, and private organizations<\/strong> to handle sexual harassment at the workplace<\/strong>. The Deputy Commissioner of Labour<\/strong> must verify and submit a detailed report to the Commission within 15 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Chakankar noted that the Commission has been conducting statewide public hearings for women\u2019s grievances<\/strong> in every district, and with the cooperation of Collectors, Police, and Legal Services Authorities<\/strong>, several issues have been resolved. Domestic violence remains the most reported grievance<\/strong>, but many families have been reconciled through counseling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling dowry deaths a social evil<\/strong>, she urged society to unite as human beings<\/strong> to combat such practices. She stressed that women must be aware of their constitutional rights and legal protections<\/strong>, and encouraged them to stand against female foeticide and child marriage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She advised women facing domestic violence<\/strong> to file complaints with the Family Court<\/strong> and approach the Bharosa Cell<\/strong> for resolution. If issues remain unresolved, they can escalate the matter to the State Women\u2019s Commission<\/strong>, which is committed to ensuring women\u2019s safety and empowerment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the event, District Collector Dr. Mittali Sethi<\/strong> provided updates on district-level efforts to tackle child marriage, maternal deaths, dowry deaths<\/strong>, and other women-related issues. Superintendent of Police Shrawan Datt<\/strong> briefed the Commission Chairperson on how the police are using social media, Dial 112, legal awareness campaigns<\/strong>, and the Bharosa Cell<\/strong> to support women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inauguration of Women\u2019s Counseling Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Later, Ms. Rupali Chakankar<\/strong> inaugurated a Women\u2019s Counseling and Dialogue Center<\/strong> at the City Police Station<\/strong>. This center, operated by the Sanskriti Multipurpose Service Board<\/strong> in collaboration with the Women and Child Development Department<\/strong>, aims to support women through counseling services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
