 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities. Motilinah Mpofu and Christopher Ncube were convicted on Thursday of concealing a death after they allegedly dug a grave for their child in the dead of night. The Gaborone court heard the child had died suddenly. Instead of reporting the death to police, health officials, or traditional leaders, the couple quietly buried the youngster and hoped no one would find out. But the secret did not stay buried for long.   Police moved in and arrested the pair. In sentencing, the court ordered that the couple be taken to the Plumtree Border Post for deportation to Zimbabwe.  Top Botswana lawyer Winnie Masitha who offered the couple free legal representation during the trial, confirmed the deportation to BTV News.

MENSTRUAL LEAVE INTRODUCED IN INDIA FOR FEMALE POLICE. (PHOTO).


 

The Itanagar Capital Region Police in Arunachal Pradesh has taken a significant step towards supporting female personnel by introducing menstrual leave. Under a recent memorandum issued by SP (Capital) Rohit Rajbir Singh, female police officers can now take one day of special leave during the first or second day of their menstrual cycle. This progressive decision acknowledges the physical challenges many women face during menstruation and aims to create a more inclusive workplace.


In contrast, Assam has yet to implement a similar policy for its women police officers, despite the physically demanding nature of their roles. Many female officers in Assam handle traffic control and frontline law enforcement duties, requiring them to work long hours outdoors in all weather conditions. The absence of menstrual leave has raised concerns about workplace equality and the overall well-being of women in the police force.


Advocates for menstrual health emphasize that such policies can improve morale, enhance productivity, and create a supportive work environment. A retired Assam police official, speaking anonymously, highlighted the need for menstrual leave in the state. “Women in Assam police face tough challenges, especially those working long hours in traffic control. A policy like this could greatly benefit them,” the official said.


While Assam has made progress in recruiting and training women in its law enforcement, experts believe policies like menstrual leave could further improve working conditions. Introducing such measures would not only support female personnel but also set an example for promoting gender-sensitive reforms in workplaces across the region.
