The District Officer of Nashik has received annual reports from several Internal Committees and the Local Committee. What does the Act require the District Officer to do with these reports?

The District Officer must forward a brief report on the annual reports received to the State Government. This is a summary duty, not publication of the full reports. Confidentiality rules prevent complaint details from being made public, so press publication is not permitted.

  2. BForward a brief report on the annual reports received to the State GovernmentCorrect
  3. CSend the full reports to the Central Government within thirty days
  4. DReturn them to employers after verifying the identity of complainants

Explanation

Section 21(2) directs the District Officer to forward a brief report on the annual reports received to the State Government. Publishing is wrong because Section 16 bars making complaint-related contents known to the public and press.
