Action against errant hostels
Ms. Jose added that the commission would seek details about licences granted to girls’ hostels. She said such a move was being considered in the light of complaints received. “The commission will take action against institutions without proper infrastructure and hygiene,” she added.
At its sitting held here, the commission accepted a total of 115 complaints, of which 37 were sorted out, while in 11 cases, police reports were sought. Six complaints were presented before the RDO, while five cases pertained to counselling.
