Though NE states may seem to be a safer place for women as compared to other parts of the country, we still have a lot more to improve. It’s all heartbreaking to see the number of rape cases of minors below the age of 12 yrs. As per the NCRB reports, 162 girl child below the age of 12 yrs were raped in NE.

Should other NE states follow Arunachal Pradesh and consider passing a bill approves death penalty for rape of girls under 12?
