Delhi Police's new FB, Twitter pages for northeast people
New Delhi: Faced with criticism over its perceived lack of sensitivity and outreach to the northeast community in the capital, Delhi Police is set to launch a Facebook page and a Twitter account for people
The DoNER ministry has already launched a support centre for students from the northeast following the death of Tania.
The decision was arrived at after a joint meeting between Delhi Police and officials of DoNER Feb 5, said another police official.
The support centre has been opened at the NorthEast Council Guest House in Chanakyapuri in central Delhi.
Professional counsellors will be hired on contractual basis to deal with problems and issues raised by northeast students at the support centre.
In another step at outreach, Delhi Police is planning to conduct half-day seminars once a month that will see professional counsellors and northeast people discuss issues and problems faced by them. In this move, the DoNER ministry would also chip in.
Delhi Police holds meetings once in two months with students and people from the northeast in the seven police districts of the capital.
The minutes of the meetings are forwarded to Hibu and the Delhi Police commissioner, said an official.
