New Delhi, Feb 25 (PTI) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Wednesday met a group of women from the northeast assuring strict action against those involved in making racist remarks and derogatory insults against a few Arunachali tenants in South Delhi’s Malviya Nagar area.

“Delhi is a city of diversity, respect, and mutual dignity. Strictest action will be taken against the people involved in this incident. There is absolutely no place for hatred, discrimination, intimidation, or racial abuse in Delhi,” Gupta said.
