NGO demands GSCW reshuffle

Tara Kerkar and other members of the NGO Savera have written to the chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar protesting against the appointment of the same set of members for the Goa state commission for women. Kerkar has given the CM 15 days to reconstitute the committee failing which the organization will protest at the CM's residence, she said. According to a gazette notification published this month, advocate Vidya Arjun Shet Tanavade will head the commission for another term. Neena Rajendra Naik, Dolla Rodrigues, Vavita Vallab Raikar, Sonia Mahanand Asnodkar, Eslinda D'Souza, Samira Cardoso and MLA Jennifer Monserrate will continue as members of the commission for another term (for a period of another three years) after they were appointed in March 2013.
