Patna, Sep 29 (TIWN) Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday said his government has taken cognisance of senior woman IAS officer's apparent humiliation of a school girl over a sanitary napkin pad.
He said he learnt about the incident when the video of the incident went viral on social media and also hit the headlines across the country. “It has come to our knowledge and we are looking into it,” he said. Bamhrah, the MD of the Bihar Women and Children Development Corporation, stirred up controversy as her abrasive responses to question by girl students at the “Shashakt Beti Samridh Bihar”, oraganised by the WCDC and Unicef, for Class 9 and 10 students, went viral. As a student asked Bamhrah that the government is providing school dress, scholarship, bicycles and many other facilities to students, can’t it provide sanitary pads for Rs 20 to 30 to girl students – drawing applause, Bamhrah hit out, saying that people are clapping over the question but these are endless demands.
