STAFF WRITER 20:58 HRS IST
Chandigarh, Apr 26 (PTI) With the recent violence against Dalits in a
Haryana village triggering their exodus from there, community leaders
today appealed to them to return to their homes.
The appeal was made at the all-community leaders' meeting of Mirchpur
village held at Hisar today and presided over by Additional Deputy
Commissioner Ashok Kumar Garg, an official release said here.
A physically challenged girl was burnt alive and her father received
serious burn injuries when some persons set afire houses belonging to
Dalits at Mirchpur in Hisar district on April 21.
Terming the whole incident as "highly disgraceful and regretful", the
community leaders requested the Dalit families that have migrated from
the village to return to their homes.
The meeting put emphasis on setting up 'Sadbhavna Samitis' at the
village level so that recurrence of such incidents could be averted.
