Wall blocking access to Dalits demolished
STAFF WRITER 15:21 HRS IST
Coimbatore, Jan 31 (PTI) The district officials here have demolished a
decade-old wall constructed on the corporation site blocking access to
58 Dalit families of Adi Dravidar Colony in Periyar Nagar here to
arterial Kamarajar Road in the city.
The residents of Jeeva Nagar, parallel to Periyar Nagar, had built a
temple of Lord Ganesha in a shed and constructed the six-metre high
and three metre wide wall on the road a decade ago.
Before construction of the wall, the Dalit families used the road for
travelling to the main road. However, after it was raised, they had to
take another route.
Based on a memorandum submitted by Dalit families urging to demolish
the wall, District Collector P Umanath instructed Corportion
Commissioner and Revenue Department officials to look into the matter
and take action, officials said.
