The objective of this public hearing is to resolve pending cases related to women and ensure prompt redressal of their grievances.

According to official statement released by the Commission, the public hearing will be held on October 13, from 12 noon onwards at Sambhrana Sabhangana, Correctional Institutions Campus, Dr. M.H. Marigowda Road, Bengaluru.

The programme will be graced by Vijaya Rahatkar, Chairperson, National Commission for Women. Senior officials including District Magistrates, Superintendents of Police, and other key officers will also participate to ensure the effective and timely resolution of cases related to women.
