Suggesting her solution to curb sexual harassment cases in schools, Konda Surekha, ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) legislator, said schoolgirls should wear salwaar kameez instead of short dresses as school uniforms, as per report by  Deccan Chronicle_._ [caption id=“attachment_2706164” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] TRS MLA Konda Surekha.

The government should implement a dress code to check on harassment cases,” said the legislator from Warangal East constituency in Telangana justifying her stand in the state assembly. Demanding strong action against molesters, the former women development minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh in the YS Rajasekhara Reddy government, said that harassers should be debarred from attending school and strict action should be taken against them such that they think twice before harassing a girl. “Those government employees accused in sexual harassment cases should also be penalised,” said the legislator. As per a report by New Indian Express, Surekha had also raised a demand to increase the number of SHE teams and special courts across Telangana to curtail the number of cases pertaining to crime against women.
