Cuttack Colleges Face Salary Sanctions Over Internal Complaint Reports
In Cuttack, India, over 100 colleges are in trouble.
They didn't send in reports about how they handle complaints about problems at their school.
The government is now withholding the pay of the staff at these colleges.
The heads of the colleges were warned to fix this quickly.
If they don't, they might get suspended from their jobs.
This is happening because the government wants to make sure colleges deal with complaints about harassment properly.
Only one college has followed all the rules so far.
Cuttack district administration withholds salaries of over 100 college staff.
Action taken due to failure to submit Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) reports.
Heads of institutions face possible suspension if they fail to comply within 24 hours.
The directive was issued by Cuttack District Collector Dattatraya Bhausaheb Shinde.
The move aims to strengthen accountability following incidents of sexual harassment.
