I faced sexual harassment at my workplace in Agartala — how do I file a complaint?

Detailed Legal Analysis

Sexual harassment complaints are filed under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 with the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) at your workplace in Agartala. If the complaint is against the employer, file with the Local Complaints Committee (LCC) at the district level.
