It is a genuine demand which the Government should not refuse.
No one can understand the pain. A male widower employee really needs Child Care Leave specially for their daughters. It becomes very difficult very difficult to manage daughters from the work place and that too when daughters are really in need of their father.
The lawmakers are requested to look into the matter. As per my knowledge is concerned only five to ten percent of male male employees falls into this category whereas female employees are much more in numbers and enjoying the facility.
