The government’s committee to address the issue of racial discrimination in cities
After the murder of Arunachal youth Nido Tania, the home ministry had set up a committee to address the issue of racial discrimination in cities. The committee was formed after vehement protests at Jantar Mantar and other places.
Its members were retired bureaucrats from all eight northeastern states.
The committee, headed by M P Bezbaruah, former IAS officer and member of North Eastern Council (NEC), had held a few meetings with people from the northeast in Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai.
The North East India Forum against Racism (NEIFAR), a coalition of student organizations and activists with over 100 members have also written to the ministry for the inclusion of a retired Supreme Court judge and an academician.
