t a time when the Goa Police is grappling with a shortage of women police sub-inspectors, there’s one case that stands out.

Ramila Parsekar, a Traffic Police Sub-Inspector, who had opted for Voluntary Retirement (VRS) alleging harassment by her senior and a subordinat­e only to withdraw her applicatio­n thereafter, is reportedly without work.

Parsekar had not only retracted her accusation­s during an inquiry but also withdrew her VRS applicatio­n last October. Since then, she has not been assigned any tasks nor has she complained of being

Frustrated by inaction to their earlier complaints, Parsekar’s colleagues have now called for action against the supervisor­y officer citing leniency towards her. “Due to reasons best known to PI Sachin Narvekar and other senior officers of Traffic, LPSI Ramila Parsekar is not allotted any type of duties since October 2, 2023. She comes to the office as per her wishes at any given time and takes rest in the ladies barrack and proceeds to her residence as and when she desires. There are no restrictio­ns laid on her,” reads the complaint, submitted to the Director General of Police Jaspal Singh and Superinten­dent of Police (Traffic) Akshat Kaushal on February 2.

The staff further highlighte­d disparitie­s, claiming that Parsekar is exempted from arriving late while others are marked absent for even a slight delay in reporting to work. Likewise, the rest of the staff is required to attend the roll call twice a day but there’s no obligation on Parsekar.

“By simply reporting for duties and not performing any type of duties, she takes home a salary of more than Rs 1 lakh per month. This is gross injustice towards other staff who toil very hard on the roads managing traffic… It is requested to look into the same and take action against the concerned supervisor­y officers for causing loss to the State exchequer by paying salaries to staff without duty… It is also requested to recover
