The Municipal Workers' Union from Margao town in Goa have decided to approach authorities after a woman officer who had accused 17 workers of outraging her modesty in 2014 was re-posted in the council recently.
"A total of 17 workers from Margao municipal council are currently facing trial at Judicial Magistrate First Class court in Margao for outraging modesty of the Chief Officer during her posting in 2014. Now she is back and this has put these workers in a piquant situation," Goa Municipal Employees' Union General Secretary Anil Shirodkar told PTI.
Margao Municipal Council is located in South Goa and is considered to be one of the most important civic bodies in the state. The Chief Officer in heR complaint lodged with Margao police on February 26, 2014 had alleged that 17 workers had outraged her modesty during an agitation.
The case was charge-sheeted by Margao police.
"The complaint had strained relations between the Chief Officer and the workers. She is now posted back. The workers are afraid that she might file another similar complaint against them unnecessarily," Shirodkar said.
