Dalits stage demo seeking house sites
Staff Reporter

Scores of dalits, under the banner of Charmakarula Sankshema Sangham,
staged a demonstration in front of the Prakasam Bhavan seeking house
sites.

The agitators, led by sangham leader P. Arogya Rao, urged the district
administration to arrange for loans without any collateral security.

Muslim Development Committee leader Sk. Bujji and Bahujana Kutami
president N. Veeranjaneyulu joined the protest march on the arterial
trunk road seeking "socio-economic justice" for over 200 cobbler
families eking out a livelihood on the roadside.

The protestors later submitted a memorandum to district Collector
Kantilal Dande in support of their demands.
