As per the committee's recommendations, Delhi police will appoint 20 police personnel from each north-east state and police exchange programs will also be initiated.
"The Ministry has studied the recommendations of the Bezbaruah Committee. As per its recommendations, a Delhi State Legal Service Authority has been constituted to provide legal assistance. Delhi police will appoint 20 police personnel from each north eastern state and police exchange programs will also be initiated," added Rajnath Singh. He said the people from the north east will also get compensation and financial assistance under the Delhi Victim Compensation Scheme, 2011.
The Bezbaruah Committee was formed in the aftermath of the shocking killing of 19-year-old Arunachal Pradesh student Nido Tania in a Delhi market. In its report, the committee had recommended a clear, stringent law to punish incidents of racial nature. It also called for a strong and determined law enforcement agency to prevent such incidents and an adequate support system for the victims of such incidents.
For people from the north-east, the committee recommended education and sensitization before arrival in metros about ways of living and adjusting to the culture in which they have to live and work.
