dependents under
male staff can add all kinds of family members. Demand made to abolish this bias
With a thought towards a safe and comfortable journey, Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) has for years now reserved seats for women passengers on its buses. Ironically, however, the transport body allegedly treats its own female employees with not so much consideration.
It has emerged that
health insurance coverage given to the family members of female PMPML employees as dependents is much more limited compared to that given to its male employees, raising cries of meaningless bias. Under PMPML’s health insurance policy, while the entire family of male employees is covered as dependents, for women, the scheme only extends to the worker herself and her children.
