The Confederation of Meghalaya Social Organisations (CoMSO) is advocating for a national anti-racism law and expedited justice following the murder of Anjel Chakma, a 24-year-old MBA student from Tripura. This incident reflects a troubling pattern of racial violence against individuals from Northeast India in various cities, highlighting systemic prejudice. CoMSO has demanded the establishment of a 24/7 ‘North East Helpline’ and specialized police cells to protect students and professionals from the region, while also calling for accountability from educational institutions and local administrations for not ensuring a safe environment.
