MHA Sets Up Panel to Examine Racial Discrimination Faced by Northeastern People

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has constituted a panel to investigate racial discrimination and related issues faced by people from India’s northeastern states. The move comes in response to growing concerns over incidents of harassment, bias, and social marginalization experienced by northeastern communities in various parts of the country.

The panel will be tasked with studying complaints, gathering data, and recommending measures to ensure the safety, dignity, and equal rights of northeastern citizens. Authorities emphasized the importance of creating an inclusive environment where all communities feel secure and respected.

Officials noted that the initiative aims to strengthen social harmony and address grievances through concrete policy interventions. The panel’s findings are expected to guide the government in framing actions that promote awareness, sensitization, and protective measures for northeastern people living in different regions.

This step reflects the government’s commitment to tackling racial discrimination and fostering unity and equality among diverse cultural communities in India.
