Collector Anshul Mishra has written to woman local body
representatives in the district asking them not to let their male family
members participate in official meetings and functions instead of them.

In
the letter dated February 15, Mr.Mishra said there were complaints of
male relatives of elected women representatives participating in
official meetings instead of women. “This is regrettable and against the
Constitution of India. You should participate in official meetings of
your local body, public functions and government functions in your
capacity as elected local body representative instead of letting your
son or husband to take your place,” Mr.Mishra said.
