SC notice to NE states

The Supreme Court has directed the eight north eastern states to formulate common rules to deal with the cases of racial attack outside the region.

Hearing a public interest litigation on Friday, a division bench of the apex court comprising chief justice of India and Justice Ranjan Gogoi asked the north eastern state governments to submit the rules to stop racial attack by the next 7 months.

The PIL was filed in view of the growing cases of racial attack on the north eastern people in New Delhi along with some other states. Very recently, an Arunachal Pradesh Student was killed by the goons in Lajpotnagar in the capital.
