Take Action against Harassment of Female Passengers and Visitors at Airports by Indian Immigration Officers


Take Action against Harassment of Female Passengers and Visitors at Airports by Indian Immigration Officers
The Issue
Few days back an immigration officer at Delhi Airport harassed a woman by asking her several uncomfortable personal questions. Now that the action has been taken against the Immigration Officer this should not just stop here, PMO and Ministry of Home Affairs should take immediate action to ensure that incidences like these don't happen again.
Also there are so many foreign tourists who had faced the rude and unprofessional behaviors of Immigration Officers and due to absence of an effective and transparent complaint filing program in place these incidences always get brushed under the carpet. Also due to scarcity of time at airport the harassed person is left with no choice except to let it go !
Government should make sure that the Indian Immigration Officers are given strict guidelines and they are taught about being courteous and professional when they deal with tourists/ clients. They are the face of country, they are the the one who welcome & see-off the tourists and visitors. There should be NO TOLERANCE policy in place for sexual and verbal harassment at Airports !
