Summary:
By Express News ServiceHYDERABAD: Gandhi Medical College hosted the SHE Teams on Tuesday as they launched their statewide WhatsApp helpline number to tackle crimes against women. However, the college itself appears to be ill-equipped to deal with sexual harassment cases as the students say that they have no Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) to look into such cases. However, it turned out that the Gandhi Medical College — one of the top medical colleges — has not constituted an ICC till date. "When we joined the course, we were told about the anti-ragging helplines, but never about the Internal Complaints Committee," said a student of first year. Other students opined that since no incidents of sexual harassment of students took place till date, they never felt the need for the ICC.Express made several attempts to reach the Gandhi Medical College administration but failed to get a comment on the issue..
