CPI (M) to start building Dalits' houses
Staff Reporter

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) will enter the house sites
allotted to 22 Dalit families in Ramavaram village, Choutealli
panchayat in Kaveripatinam Panchayat on January 31 and will start
building houses, said K. Balakrishnan, State president of the
Tamilnadu Vivasayigal Sangam here on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters, he said, 22 Dalit families were denied entry
into their land allotted by the government three decades ago in
Ramavaram village despite having a court order in their favour.

In spite of agitations by the CPI (M) on different occasions, the
district administration miserably failed to help the Dalit families to
occupy the said land. Hence, the CPI (M) has decided to enter into the
land on January 31 and start construction activities for the Dalits.

In case, if any law and order problem arose on that day, the district
administration will be responsible for that, he warned.

Oppression against Dalits in the district was reported from many parts.

Wherever the oppression against Dalits was reported and the problems
identified by the CPI (M), the party intervened and took the issues to
the concerned authorities. No concrete action was initiated by the
district administration in many incidents.
