Notices to Telangana government on moms' privacy

Hyderabad: The Hyderabad High Court on Tuesday issued notices to the Central, TS and AP governments, and also the TSRTC and APSRTC, in a taken-up case seeking exclusive and adequate breastfeeding rooms to protect women’s right to privacy, dignity and personal liberty in public places.

A division bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan and Justice J. Uma Devi was dealing with the taken up case based on a letter by Vinodh Palamangalam, a resident of Visakhapatnam city to the Chief Justice of High Court seeking to direct the government to provide exclusive breastfeeding rooms in public places like bus and railway stations and temples. 

While issuing notices to the respondents, the bench directed them to file affidavits by October 10.
