The women councilors have sought an inquiry into the matter and asked for strict action against those found involved in the incident.
A female councilor said, “Councilors of MC Sopore were called for a meeting at the office and soon the meeting was over, a group of people started shouting slogans and abused the women councilors there at Municipal Council office Sopore. When the world was celebrating International Women’s Day, few goons on behest of an official verbally abused us and threatened of dire consequences.”
The female councilors have asked the Executive Officer of Municipal Council Sopore to initiate an inquiry into it.
“We want your good office to set up inquiry committee to investigate and identify the people who are behind this incident and an FIR against these persons should be taken and in future safety and security concerns of councilors should be taken care off.
