NCW member to interact with village women

National Commission for Women (NCW) member Hemlata Kheria is scheduled to visit different villages of coastal Puri, Khurda districts and some Maoist-dominated cutoff tribal areas to directly interact with rural women, particularly Dalits, and take stock of their problems on April 19 and 20.

Following the interactions, she is likely to take up the issues with the concerned authorities to provide immediate relief to the aggrieved, said sources.

According to sources, Kheria who would reach Odisha on a three-day visit on Thursday to inaugurate a two-day national seminar on ‘Ending violence against women’, would visit the villages in Puri and Khurda districts and different cutoff tribal areas in the Maoist-hit districts to personally interact with women.
