Mumbai: Cine and TV Artists Association (CINTAA) recently said it will be setting up committees to tackle sexual harassment in the industry, which will have actors Swara Bhasker and Raveena Tandon, among others as members.

Sushant Singh, general secretary, CINTAA said the organisation is collaborating with several people to eliminate the issue. Actor Renuka Shahane, filmmaker Amol Gupte, journalist Bharti Dubey, PoSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassement) lawyers and psychologists will also be part of the committee. "Swara Bhasker approached us, she is a member. She was working on this issue independently, very methodically. We are planning to set up a sub-committee which will focus on sexual harassment awareness."

"It includes Swara and lawyer Vrinda Grover who will take a session for the industry. PoSH will also pitch in and counselling sessions, awareness workshops and symposiums will be held," Singh said.
