Dalits seek removal of encroachment

Staff Reporter \

TIRUNELVELI: A group of Dalits from Chiththaarchathram village under
Gangaikondan police station limits submitted a petition to District
Collector M. Jayaraman on Monday seeking action against a family which
has allegedly encroached upon their cremation ground.

The petitioners, led by P. Ananthan, alleged that a caste Hindu couple
of Paruththikulam were preventing them from removing the thorny bushes
grown abundantly on the cremation ground even after a complaint was
registered at Gangaikondan police station in this connection.

"The police which initially allowed us to cut the bushes are now
preventing us from removing the roots following a false complaint made
by the encroacher, who did not even allow the government officials to
carry out development works in the cremation ground under the National
Rural Employment Guarantee Programme," Mr. Ananthan alleged.
