In the Times of India today, 17th June, in the Editorial Page, a very significant statement from Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar is published in the ‘They Said It’ column along with his photo. He has stated that ” I have served in the North-East. ..They have not heard of a thing called eve-teasing.”

I fee that what he said is correct. There is a reason also. In the North-East, the women are very active and are the bread-winners in many house-holds. The women have a respected position. As such, the eve-teasing may not be a problem.

However, it is also to be noted that the girls and women from North-East in Delhi are being regularly  assaulted, attacked and raped. And  Neeraj Kumar, Commissioner of police, is in Delhi and has to do a lot to ensure safety of girls and women of not only NE but all those in Delhi.
