New Delhi, Feb 12 (IANS) Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju Thursday directed officials to work towards providing 'transit camp accommodation' for people of the northeastern region in metropolitan and other major cities.

Rijiju, who presided over an inter-ministerial meeting to review the implementation of the Bezbaruah Committee report on safety and other concerns of the people from the northeast, asked officials of the Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) ministry to initiate a proposal for provision of separate budget allocation for transit camp accommodation.

Rijiju expressed concern that recruitment of people from the northeast in Delhi Police had not really taken off.

Delhi Police officers explained that the rigorous physical and educational qualifications have become a hurdle and a review was underway to relax the criteria.
