We are looking into it,” said a senior officer from Pimpri Chinchwad police on the condition of anonymity.The state minister said it was noticed work was adversely affected due to the unequal use of the facility, rights of employees and organisational discipline was being affected. “However, this information is not officially verified. The truth about the incident has to be checked,” said Misal.She said it was necessary to reach out to employees, especially women, of the company and verify if they were facing harassment or inconvenience at the workplace. “The issue is very sensitive so it should be taken up seriously and appropriate action taken immediately,” said Misal.Click here to join Express Pune WhatsApp channel and get a curated list of our stories© The Indian Express Pvt LtdTags:MaharashtraAdvertisementLoading Recommendations...
