In an important move, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that those indulging in eve-teasing will not be get a driving licence, passport and other government facilities.

The step is being taken to control eve-teasing in the state, Chouhan said during a function at a Gwalior trade fair last evening. Those found involved in eve-teasing would not be given driving licence, passport and character certificate, he said.

A database of eve-teasers and those indulging in similar offences would be prepared and appropriate action would be taken against them, he said. A toll free telephone number for registering complaints about eve-teasing and misbehaviour would also become operational soon, the Chief Minister said.
