Sushmita Dev’s Supplementary Question on no recruitment for racial crime-fighting police units in North East India

Sir, I thank you for the opportunity. I agree with my colleague that the Bezbaruah Committee Report was one of the most comprehensive reports regarding the people from the North-East. The backdrop was racially-motivated crimes. There are figures that the hon. Minister has given about the recruitment of Special Police Unit. The figures
are there; I don’t want to repeat them. What is the reason that after 2018 there has been no recruitment? The idea of giving this Unit was only to deal with racially-motivated crimes against the people of North-East. Why has there been no recruitment after 2018? I would like to know the reason for it.
