In the wake of the death of a Class XII girl student here, former youth wing secretary of MDMK and founder of Marumalarchi Makkal Iyakkam V. Eswaran on Monday urged the State government to form internal complaints committees (ICC) in all the educational institutions to redress complaints of sexual offences.
Mr. Eswaran wrote in a letter to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Monday that information pertaining to the sexual assault of the victim by a teacher came to the fore only after her suicide on November 11 and that many such cases might possibly remain unreported. The ICCs in schools must include women social workers along with representatives of students and should not be led by the head of the respective educational institutions. The proceedings of these ICCs must be sent to the Department of Social Welfare periodically and this must be ensured by the District Collectors, he added.
