Action is also being taken against others involved,” Shrinate said on Sunday.Congress launches sanitary pad drive in BiharThe controversy emerged just days after Congress launched a menstrual hygiene initiative in Bihar. The party began distributing sanitary pads to women in the state, citing alarming survey data.“We conducted a survey in Bihar, and shocking figures came out that in today’s modern India, women and daughters of Bihar are using cloth during menstruation and are falling prey to serious diseases,” All India Mahila Congress president Alka Lamba said. “Mahila Congress has taken the initiative to give free sanitary vending machines to our mothers, sisters, daughters of Bihar who are using cloth due to unemployment, inflation, poverty and are unable to buy it,” she added.“We installed machines, gave free training, free machines, free raw material to make 30,000 pads. And today, I am happy to say that the women of Bihar are making these pads; they are getting work and earning a living. We are going to distribute free sanitary pad boxes in the next 2 days,” she said.The boxes being distributed under the initiative feature photos of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, aiming to increase awareness and visibility of the drive.
