Haryana village appeals to Dalit families to return home

April 26th, 2010 - 10:04 pm ICT by IANS -
Hisar (Haryana), April 26 (IANS) Residents of a Haryana village Monday
made an appeal to Dalit families, who had fled after clashes and arson
attack, to return home.
Nearly 20 families of Valmiki community in Mirchpur village fled after
an arson attack April 21. At least 15 houses were damaged and a
70-year-old Dalit man and his 18-year-old physically challenged
daughter were burnt alive.

"An appeal has been made at the all-community leaders' meeting of
Mirchpur village that was held here. It was attended by additional
deputy commissioner of Hisar and prominent personalities of the area,"
a government spokesperson said.

"Community leaders have observed that the whole incident and migration
of Valmiki families is highly disgraceful and regretful. They have
requested the families to immediately return to the village."

Police have arrested 25 people for the attack and said it resulted
from an old enmity between the two communities.
