New Delhi, Nov 26 : Reacting sharply to the rape of a Mizo lady, Minister of Mines and Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), Bijoy Krishna Handique, has called for a complete overhaul of security measures for female employees of NE Region working in the BPO sector in the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi.
The Minister, who visited the rape victim, on Thursday told this newspaper that his Ministry was closely working with Delhi Police and working out ways to ensure safety and security of the employees engaged in the BPO sector.
The Police have constituted 15 Special Investigation Teams to look into this case and they have informed that they have sufficient clues to nab the culprits within two to three days.”
The Ministry is also going to write to the State Governments of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to take up the issue with the BPO industry.
The Mizo girl was forcibly picked up minutes away from her home, when she was returning from work at around 1.15 am early this week.
Handique said the incident may not have occurred, had the BPO Company, where the two girls worked bothered to follow the guidelines. The women employees are to be accompanied by a guard and vehicle was required to wait till the girls entered home.
“I take exception to the conduct of the BPOs. The responsibility of the safety of the employees ultimately lies with the BPO Companies. However, it is very disheartening to notice that there is no compliance on their part at all. The BPO Companies must follow the guidelines issued by the Police from time to time,” he said.
At the same time, Handique has convened a high level meeting between the Police Heads of NCR including Gurgaon, the Resident Commissioners of the eight North Eastern States, and senior officials from the Ministry of DoNER next week.
After the deliberations in the meeting, Handique will meet the Union Home Minister and the Chief Minister of Delhi to apprise them about the scenario of the safety of working women of the North Eastern Region working in NCR.
The action plan worked out included measures like proper verification of antecedents of drivers employed by the BPO companies, installation of GPS on all vehicles, women Employees should not travel alone with cab drivers and should not be the last one to be dropped.
Meanwhile, BJP North East Sampark Cell (NESC) led by senior party leaders such as party spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman today staged a demonstration at the Jantar Mantar, protesting against the ever growing incidents of molestation and rape of women from the North East in the national capital.
Addressing the protesters, Sitharaman demanded that the Union Home Ministry convene an emergency meeting and assure people of the North East that their children studying and working in Delhi were safe. She said the party would raise in Parliament the issue of their safety.
Meanwhile, Kumar Deepak Das, AGP MP has written to the Prime Minister about an incident, when a cultural group, which had come to perform at the International Trade Fair, were looted by a group of armed miscreants at Paharganj on the night of November 19.
Meanwhile, S K Bwiswmutriary MP has also condemned the incident of rape and called on the people of North-east living in the capital region to unite and fight against the menace.
