Cyclist reaches Arunachal with a message to stop violence against women ITANAGAR, Sept 12: Sougaijam Bidyalakshmi, who is currently on a bicycle tour of North East to spread the message about stopping violence against women, reached Nirjuli. The young activist interacted with the students of NERIST and expressed concern over rising incidents of crime against women and children. “If I am able to talk to 100 persons, I assume that 100 crimes will be reduced,” said Bidyalakshmi. Speaking in a function organized by the students of NERIST to receive the Bidyalakshmi, BC Sharma said Man and woman are the two feet of a society. A society can progress when both are equally treated and it is everybody’s responsibility to fight crime against women and children, said Aheibam Dinamani Singh, Asst. Prof., NERIST. There is a need to change the mind set of women to fight back, he added. Later, Bidyalakshmi proceeded to Itanagar. The tour was flagged off by Social Welfare Minister of Manipur Goverment Akoijam Mirabai Devi at Imphal on August 21. She had already covered Moreh, Bishnupur, Kohima, Dimapur, Jorhat, Dibrugarh and Tezpur before reaching Arunachal Pradesh.
