Dalits seek facilities

Staff Correspondent

HASSAN: Dalits leaders complained about harassment and appealed for
better facilities, at the Hassan taluk SC, ST Hitharakshana Committee
meeting, chaired by Tahsildar Rudrappaji Rao, here on Friday.

The leaders appealed for road connectivity to Dalit areas under the
Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Act.

In Karle village, the approach road to the Dalit colony had been
encroached upon, while in Nittur village, there was no road to
Ambedkar Bhavan, they said.

They also complained that the Dalit families were prevented from
taking water from borewells in Ballekere village in Shettyhalli Gram
Panchayat.

Mr. Rao assured them that action would be taken.
