No relief even during pregnancy, serious allegations made by a female pharmacist at KGMU

A female pharmacist at King George Medical University has accused the administration of harassment and retaliation, claiming she received no relief during her pregnancy.

At King George Medical University in Lucknow, a female pharmacist has made serious allegations against the administration, stating that she has faced administrative harassment, mental torture, and retaliatory actions. Despite being pregnant, she claims there was no relief provided to her in her duties, and she has been under constant pressure to work night shifts. Additionally, she has reported that her outlet in-charge displayed consistently disrespectful behavior towards her and pressured her to make work arrangements even during her leave.

In her written complaint to the Vice-Chancellor, the pharmacist highlights various incidents that she considers degrading and detrimental to her dignity as a woman, including being denied access to the washroom key. Such behaviors, she argues, are not only inappropriate but also mentally distressing, contributing significantly to her situation. This pattern of conduct from management adds to her claims of a hostile work environment, particularly at a time when she was vulnerable due to her pregnancy.

After tendering her resignation, the female pharmacist alleged that the situation remained unchanged, with continued instances of derogatory comments and retaliatory behavior from the financial advisor, Dinesh Srivastava. Her allegations point to a broader issue of workplace harassment, especially for women, and raise concerns about the treatment of pregnant employees within the institution. The documentation of her experiences is crucial as it sheds light on the systemic issues surrounding gender and employee rights in such environments.
