The first demand is for setting up of Special Police Cell in all the Metros which will cater specifically to cases related to racial discrimination and atrocities on students and people from North East in line with the Delhi model, with a provision that it is manned by police officers from NE States.
NESO has also demanded capital punishment to the perpetrators of heinous crimes at the earliest. The NESO memorandum also includes the demand for inclusion of the North East – its geographical location, its people, its culture, its ethos, etc., – in the syllabus of schools under all State Boards and Central Boards including the CBSE.
It further demanded that the Government of India should make one time recruitment of at least 5,000 Delhi police personnel in the capitals of eight NE States. NESO also demanded the enactment of a stringent law to deal with such crimes against the people from NE.
