Ensure safety, security of people from North-East in city: HC

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked the city government and police to implement the directions it had given time and again on the safety and security of people from the North-Eastern states residing in the capital.

A division Bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath disposed of the plea and asked the Delhi government and police to adhere to directions given by it on the issue.

The court took suo motu cognizance to curb alleged hate crimes and racial discrimination against people from the northeastern states and said that the government needs to “play a proactive role” in this.
