Subject: Protest notice seeking immediate suspension/shifting of accused GMTD Faridabad in lady harassment case and enquiry by independent and external committee.

Respected Sir,

One lady JTO of Faridabad has made serious complain of sexual harassment against GMTD Faridabad SSA on 23rd April-2013 which is already in your kind notice. It is to utter surprise that even passing more than a week no serious action has been taken. It is learnt that for the sake of formality CGMT Haryana has formed an enquiry committee at Ambala which is about 250 Km away from the Faridabad and forcing victim to appear before the committee which is also a kind harassment to lady JTO so that she shall withdraw the case.

As complain is direct against SSA head of Faridabad and using his authority he has already entered into hiding the facts and influencing the witness. It is also come into the notice that GMTD Faridabad is forcing the officers of Faridabad under whom lady JTO has worked to give falls complain against her on back date.

As the accused belong to the ITS cadre and we have seen the affinity among ITS since last few years, any internal enquiry under the supervision of ITS officer will definitely not be fair and trustful.

Hence this association strongly demands independent external enquiry committee of Honorable retired judge with immediate suspension/shifting of GMTD Faridabad so that he cannot further influence the facts.

Considering the seriousness of the case and effort by CGMT Haryana to save accused, All the Non-Executives and Executives officers of Faridabad are already on protest and if GMTD is not suspended today itself and not ordered for independent external committee this association will hold countrywide protest including Gherao of BSNL corporate office and DOT office from tomorrow onwards till the fulfill of above demand.
