Kalipalayam village Dalits' plea
Staff Reporter
an appeal:Residents of Kalipalayam in front of the Tirupur
collectorate on Monday.
Tirupur: A group of Dalits from Kalipalayam village complained to the
Collector, C. Samayamoorthy, that they were not yet officially
enumerated as 'Scheduled Caste' despite them being from the community
and possesses all documents pertaining to substantiate it.
They pointed out that the discrepancy was noticed only during the
recent ward realignment process carried out in the panchayat in which
each of the total three wards were bifurcated to constitute six wards.
"The data on the government gazette released in connection with the
ward bifurcation process stated that only 59 Dalits are there in the
entire Kalaipalayam village panchayat as against the actual figures of
around 900," panchayat ward-II member K. Sundaresan said.
He said that as many as 435 Dalits figured in the electoral list
published even as early as in 1995 itself.
"In 2009 Parliamentary elections also, 479 Dalit electors from the
panchayat exercised their franchise," Mr. Sundaresan said.
