New Delhi, September 19 2014 : As part of an initiative by the Delhi police to sensitise its force about North East India, its people and their cultures, all Delhi police officer trainees will be touring the North East soon with the help of the respective State police in the North East.

"The tour is intended to give them proper exposure about the rich and diverse heritage of the region, which in turn will help the police officers to better understand and build a positive bond while dealing with the problems and issues faced by NE people in Delhi," informed IGP Robin Hibu, Nodal Officer for North East people in Delhi police.

The latest move of the Delhi police is part of its safety and protective measures for the North East people residing in the National capital following reports of discriminations faced by the people from the NE region.

Earlier, a nodal officer for railway stations and metro for the North East people in New Delhi has been appointed in order to address the rising cases of crime.

Sometimes numerous crimes are committed at different railway stations and metro stations in Delhi.

Though police stations are available to look into such cases, the direct intervention of senior police officers is sometimes required to look into such cases.

"With the rising crime against North East people in metro cities especially in Delhi, the ACP Railways of Delhi Police has been nominated as the Nodal Officer for Railways and Metro for crime against North East people," informed IGP Robin Hibu.

Again, as part of the safety measures, a self-defence Karate training for North East women in Delhi will start from October 4 at DDA Squash & Badminton Auditorium, Sirifort, New Delhi.

The year-long programme is an initiative of the Delhi Police to train NE women in self-defence against eve-teasing, molestation, sexual assault, rape, etc.

The training will be held every Saturday and Sunday from 4 pm to 6 pm.

NE women in Delhi who are interested in taking part in the programme are requested to provide their names and mobile numbers to any of the Delhi Police NE representatives or to the mobile number 9810083486 by September 25 positively.

Apart from the self-defence training for women, the Delhi Police will also be organising a Hindi class for NE youth in the same venue after every self-defence training session from 6 pm to 7 pm.
