Sangma seeks student cover
The Telegraph | New Delhi, April 30:
Meghalaya chief minister today called for a legislation that would protect students from the Northeast from “insensitive behaviour”, almost a week after his niece, Dana Sangma, killed herself in a Delhi hostel after being allegedly ill-treated by an invigilator.
Sangma has called for an overarching law that can tackle such insensitive attitude towards the people from Northeast, especially in education institutions.
“An immediate initiative for enactment of a law which shall lay down a set of stringent guidelines for appropriately addressing the issue of security and safety of students and regulating the behaviour of the administration, authorities of institutions and universities is of urgent need,” Sangma said.
“The issue of safety, security and well-being of the students, particularly in the case of students from the Northeast who also follow a culture which others in this part of the country are less familiar with, is a matter of concern,” he said.
