Tamil Nadu
Dalits take part in auction
Staff Reporter
VEDARANYAM: Amid tight police security and administrative assistance,
Dalits of Chettipulam took part in a fishing auction held for
panchayat-owned water bodies here on Monday. This was their first such
participation in a "common auction" for fishing rights.
The Dalits had earlier proposed to take part in the auction, which
according to them was tacitly exclusive for the Caste Hindus.
Earlier, the auction of ponds for fishing was given solely on
administrative divisions. This had kept the Dalits excluded as they
were geographically ghettoed in a particular division. At the auction,
their proposal to participate was initially opposed, but the BDO and
tahsildar intervened to state that it was a common auction concerning
panchayat ponds.
