Mumbai, 14 March 2014: The Northeast Helpline – Mumbai met with the Mumbai Commissioner of Police, Mr Rakesh Maria, to apprise him of the challenges faced by the Northeast community and to express gratitude for his support. On 14 March 2014, a dedicated helpline for the Northeast community, named Northeast Helpline – Mumbai, was successfully launched at 2, Mini Rose Apartments, Vidyanagari Marg, Kalina, Santacruz (E), Mumbai – 400 098, by various Northeast communities residing in the city.
This initiative follows the model of the Northeast Support Centre & Helpline, which was established in Delhi in 2007. The primary objective of the Mumbai helpline is to address the grievances and concerns of Northeast residents in the city.
In response to the increasing incidents of racial discrimination and attacks against people from the Northeast living in India’s metropolitan cities, the Northeast community in Mumbai recognised the urgent need for a dedicated helpline.
The patron of the Northeast Helpline – Mumbai, Dr Abraham Mathai, along with Dr Alana Golmei from the Northeast Support Centre & Helpline – Delhi, who was visiting Mumbai as part of a mission from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Delhi, met with the Commissioner of Police to discuss the difficulties faced by the Northeast community in Mumbai.
Mr Rakesh Maria listened attentively and took proactive steps to address these concerns. He instructed his team to conduct an audit of areas in the city where Northeast residents are concentrated and proposed increased patrolling in these localities.
Furthermore, the Commissioner directed that regular meetings be held between Northeast representatives and law enforcement authorities to ensure continued dialogue and effective action.
