DoNER can help tackle racial attacks on Northeast youths: Robin Hibu
Robin Hibu, a special commissioner in the Delhi Police, thinks the government's DoNER Ministry can help stop racial attacks on young people from the Northeast of India.
He says these attacks happen because people in other parts of the country don't know much about the Northeast.
Hibu suggests that the government should create special programs to teach young people from the Northeast about what to expect when they move to other places.
He also thinks the government should build better schools in the Northeast so students don't have to leave home to study.
Additionally, he believes that if more people visit the Northeast, they will learn more about the region and discrimination will decrease.
Hibu also criticized the media for only covering major incidents and not smaller issues.
Racial attacks on Northeast youths are a serious issue, according to Robin Hibu.
The DoNER Ministry and North Eastern Council can play a major role in addressing this problem.
Language barriers and lack of knowledge about the Northeast contribute to discrimination.
Delhi Police has an NE cell to help Northeast youths, but other states lack such support.
Proposed solutions include orientation programs, world-class educational institutions, and boosting tourism in the Northeast.
