Punia to visit UP, 'Dalit atrocities' on agenda

Express news service Posted online: Fri Oct 29 2010, 10:43 hrs
Lucknow : Mayawati government's performance in curbing atrocities on
Dalits, utilisation of funds meant for SCs from the special component
plan and filling of reservation backlog are some of the issues the
National Commission for Scheduled Castes will take up when its
chairman PL Punia visits UP next week.
Punia is arriving on his first official visit on November 3. Though he
was secretary to Mayawati during her previous tenure as CM, relations
turned bitter during the probe into the Taj Heritage Corridor case.
Punia said atrocities on Dalits in UP were on the rise but cases were
not being registered. Of the cases registered, over 50 per cent were
"settled" at police stations as victims face pressure for compromise
or withdrawing cases.
