The media must be free and fair, uninfluenced by corporate or state interests. That's why you, the public, need to pay to keep news free.
ContributeThis recommendation was made by Veena Gowda, who was part of the three-member panel investigating the allegations of sexual harassment against Johri.
According to the DNA report, the session was conducted by a company called “Rainmaker” which specialises in prevention of sexual harassment and raising awareness amongst the employees at a workplace. The counselling lasted for almost two hours, the report stated.
Gowda was the lone dissent voice in the three-member committee. The other members included Justice Rakesh Sharma (Retd) and Barkha Singh. In the report submitted to the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators, Gowda had stated that Johri’s conduct had been “unprofessional and inappropriate”.
